How many electrons does oxygen need to reach an octet?

Oxygen needs to gain 2 electrons to reach an octet, as it has 6 valence electrons in its outer shell and requires a total of 8 electrons to have a stable octet configuration.

How many valence electrons does oxygen gain?

Oxygen tends to gain two electrons to complete its "octet", making it O2- with the electron configuration 1s22s22p6


Can a Neutral unbonded atom complete valence octet?

Yes, neutral unbonded atoms can complete a valence octet by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 valence electrons. This stability is known as the octet rule, which applies to many elements in the periodic table.


How many sodium atoms are needed to provide electrons necessary to complete valence octet of oxygen atom?

Two sodium atoms are needed to provide the 2 electrons necessary to complete the valence octet of an oxygen atom. Sodium typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, which can then be transferred to an oxygen atom to satisfy its electron needs.
