Six.
Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outer shell. It belongs to group 16 of the periodic table, also known as the oxygen family or chalcogens, and has 6 valence electrons.
Valence electrons are the total amount of electrons on the outermost shell of an atom. Meaning if the last shell has two, the valence electrons are two. But a complete valence shell would hold eight.
All halogen elements have 7 valence electrons (group 17): F, Cl, Br, I, At.
Neon has more valence electrons than oxygen. Neon has a full outer shell with 8 valence electrons, while oxygen typically has 6 valence electrons.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.

Oxygen needs 2 more valence electrons to have a full outer shell. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, and a full outer shell for oxygen is achieved at 8 valence electrons.

Neon has more valence electrons than oxygen. Neon has a full outer shell with 8 valence electrons, while oxygen typically has 6 valence electrons.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.
a) Oxygen has 6 valence-shell electrons. c) Phosphorus has 5 valence-shell electrons. d) Nitrogen has 3 valence-shell electrons. e) Carbon has 4 valence-shell electrons.
6 valence electrons 1s2 2s2 2p4 These 6 valence electrons are in the outer shell.
In the first shell there are two electrons and in the second shell there are six electrons, but only the electrons in the second (outer) shell are valence electrons.
Oxygen as 6 valence electrons.
The outer shell is called the valence shell
The valence shell is the outer most shell or imaginary orbit of an atom containing <8 electrons. The electrons in this shell are called 'valence electrons'.
