Oxygen atom + 2 electrons gives Oxide, an oxygen ion (charge: 2 minus)
In chemical symbols: O + 2e- --> O2-
Oxygen is a non metal element. There are 8 electrons in a single atom.
When one oxygen atom shares two pairs of electrons with another oxygen atom, they form a double bond between them. This results in the formation of O2, which is the oxygen molecule commonly found in the Earth's atmosphere.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.
An atom of oxygen has 8 electrons, in the configuration 2,6.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.

An atom that accepts an electron is called reduced because it gains electrons, which leads to a reduction in its oxidation state. In a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction, the atom that accepts electrons is undergoing reduction, not oxidation.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.
There are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule as each oxygen atom has 8 electrons.
An atom of oxygen has 8 electrons, in the configuration 2,6.
Every oxygen atom has eight electrons.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.
Every oxygen atom has eight electrons.
Atom is formed of electrons, protons and neutrons.
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.
An oxygen atom has two valence electrons.
