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.
Anion. It gains an electron, making it negative.
Oxygen typically has a charge of -2.
The oxygen atom would have a charge of -2 after gaining two electrons to become an oxygen ion.
The oxygen atom in O2 would have a partial negative charge due to its higher electronegativity compared to hydrogen in HCl and fluorine in F2. Oxygen tends to attract electrons more strongly, resulting in a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom in the O2 molecule.
The symbol for oxygen is O and it has a charge of -2.
Yes they can do it. That is because of + charge.
When a chlorine atom ionizes, it gains one electron to become the chloride ion with a charge of -1.
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.
Protons can ionize gases. Because of they contains +charge.
Oxygen needs 8 electrons to have no charge.
The oxygen atom is neutral.
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.

Anion. It gains an electron, making it negative.
No. It would have 10.
Oxygen typically has a charge of -2.
The oxygen atom would have a charge of -2 after gaining two electrons to become an oxygen ion.
