it has 2
6 Valence Electrons
The answer is not 6 as said here before! The number of valence electrons in O2 (oxygen molecule) is: 12 valence electrons. 6 of them from each oxygen (O) atom. 4 valence electrons make up the double bond between the two oxygen atoms, and the remaining 8 valence electrons form lone pairs (non-bonding pairs) on the oxygen atoms, 2 lone pairs on each. I hope there is some help in this.
Nitrogen has 7 electrons, oxygen has 8 electrons, and chlorine has 9 electrons. That is the total electron count, for inner and outer shells. If you are only concerned with the valance electrons, then it is 5 for nitrogen, 6 for oxygen, and 7 for chlorine.
it has 6 electrons in the outer most shell
No, SO2 and CO2 are not isoelectronic. Isoelectronic species have the same number of electrons, but SO2 has 18 electrons (6 from sulfur and 6 from each oxygen) while CO2 has 16 electrons (4 from carbon and 6 from each oxygen).
O - Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.
6 Valence Electrons
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. A person can determine the number of valence electrons by looking at the periodic table. since oxygen is in the 6th column form the left, it has 6 valence electrons.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.
Oxygen has 8 total electrons, with 2 in the innermost energy level. Therefore, oxygen has 6 core electrons.
Oxygen as 2 core electrons and 6 valence electrons.
Oxygen has 6 covalent electrons, since it has 6 valence electrons and tends to form two covalent bonds.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.
Oxygen has 6 core electrons.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.
6
Sulfur, which is in the oxygen family, has 6 valence electrons.
