4 pairs
The pairs of valence electrons that do not participate in bonding in a diatomic oxygen molecule are called lone pairs. These pairs of electrons are not involved in forming the double bond between the oxygen atoms in O2.
In an oxygen molecule (O2), each oxygen atom has 3 lone pairs of electrons.
six, read your periodic table and look at the electron configurations. the last number is how many electrons are in the valence orbital. the number of electrons in that valence orbital and how many valence electrons there are in that atom. oxygen has a 2-6 configuration, hence six valence electrons. lewis dot diagram has a capital O surrounded by three pairs of dots (six total), chemistry is easy and fun for everyone.Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.
The answer is c. Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms & D. Four valence eletrons are shared
The water molecule has two pairs of unbonded electrons, also known as lone pairs. These lone pairs are located on the oxygen atom.
lone pairs
The answer is not 6 as said here before! The number of valence electrons in O2 (oxygen molecule) is: 12 valence electrons. 6 of them from each oxygen (O) atom. 4 valence electrons make up the double bond between the two oxygen atoms, and the remaining 8 valence electrons form lone pairs (non-bonding pairs) on the oxygen atoms, 2 lone pairs on each. I hope there is some help in this.

There are two pairs of electrons being shared in a diatomic molecule of oxygen gas (O2). Each oxygen atom contributes one pair of electrons, leading to a total of two pairs being shared between the two oxygen atoms.

Si will have two bonds to the two Hydrogens, and a double bond to the Oxygen. The Oxygen will have two pairs of unpaired valence electrons.
The water molecule has two pairs of unbonded electrons, also known as lone pairs. These lone pairs are located on the oxygen atom.
They share two pairs of electrons and have 2 lone pairs
In a tetrahedral molecule, the central atom has 0 unshared pairs of valence electrons. The central atom forms four chemical bonds with surrounding atoms, resulting in a total of 4 electron pairs around the central atom.
hi. whats your name. i love you. i have a myspace. do you? haha. im doing my biology homework right now. haha. my name is.... hahaa. anyways. i love you. byee. Why would you post that. I'm doing my biology homework too, and that was a complete waste of my time to read that. I really hate this question. Welp thanks. Next time answer my question and I won't care that you posted all that nonsense.
