When oxygen ionizes, it typically gains two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration like the noble gas neon. This results in the formation of the oxide ion (O2-), which carries a charge of -2.

How Oxygen ionizes by losing electrons?

Oxygen can ionize by losing electrons to form a positively charged ion. This can occur when an oxygen atom gains enough energy to overcome the attraction of its electrons, causing one or more electrons to be ejected from the atom. The resulting oxygen ion will have a positive charge due to the loss of negatively charged electrons.


Can proton ionizes gases why?

Protons can ionize gases. Because of they contains +charge.

What kind of charge would the oxygen atom have compared to the oxygen?

The oxygen atom is neutral.


What charge would an oxygen atom with 10 electrons have?

An Oxygen atom would never contain 10 electrons on its own. It would have a maximum of 8 electrons at one time, unless the "oxygen atom" you are referring to is in fact an oxygen ION, in which case the charge would be -2. However, an oxygen ion can never be "by itself". It must be bonded with either itself as a diatomic or with another element as a compound.
