Why does oxygen behaves only as a divalent element?
Oxygen typically exists as a divalent element because it has six valence electrons in its outer shell. By gaining two electrons, it can achieve a full valence shell, similar to the stable noble gases.
How many electrons are in the outer valence shell of a sulfur atom?
The outer valence shell of a sulfur atom contains a total of 6 electrons: two 3s electrons and four 3p electrons.
How many electrons to fill outer shell of oxygen?
Oxygen needs 2 electrons to fill it's valence shell which is why it forms a 2- ion.
Which element has 6 electrons in the outer shell?
2 because if it was 8 it would be a full shell. 2 because if it was 8 it would be a full shell. 2 because if it was 8 it would have a full shell....
An oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell how many electrons does it need to fill that shell?
They all have 6 in its outer shell because they are all in the same group in the periodic table. Your VERY VERY welcome (:
How many electrons does sulfur selenium tellurium polonium will have in their outer shell and why?
All these elements have six electrons in the outer shell.
Does carbon have four electrons?
carbon has totally six electrons. Out of these, four electrons are in the valence shell or the outer most shell.
Why does oxygen behaves only as a divalent element?
Oxygen typically exists as a divalent element because it has six valence electrons in its outer shell. By gaining two electrons, it can achieve a full valence shell, similar to the stable noble gases.
How many electons does an oxygen atom have in its outer shell?
An oxygen atom has six (6) electrons in its outer shell.
An element that has two outer electrons seeks to gain six more?
An element that has two outer electrons is carbon. Carbon would not use the energy to gain six more electrons when it can easily get rid of the two outer electrons.

How many electrons are in oxygen's outer level?
The word "valance" is used to describe electrons in the outer-most energy level of an atom. Oxygen has six valance electrons.
How many electrons go in the first shell of oxygen?
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.
How many outer-shell electrons does sulfur have?
Sulfur has 6 outer shell electrons, as do all other atoms in column 16 of a wide form Periodic Table, in the usual chemical meaning. A physicist, especially a spectroscopist, might well consider only the 3p electrons of sulfur the outer shell, since the 3s electrons have a detectably lower energy level. On that view, sulfur would contain 4 outer shell electrons.
How many electrons can sulphur borrow?
Sulfur can borrow up to six electrons to complete its octet and achieve stability. This is because sulfur has six valence electrons in its outer shell.
