Ok the different types of particles are arranged differently. For the Electrons, Neutrons and Protons oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons located inside the nucleus. It has 2 electrons in its inner orbital and 6 in its outer (valence) orbital.

However oxygen is normally found as O2 where it has the same number of protons and neutrons per nuclei but has slightly different styled electrons

o oo o

o oo o

oo oo

This is a Lewis diagram of O2 it is sharing the 2 electrons (represented by o) located between them.

For the oxygen atoms it is normally represented with a single bond of O-O

The Ion is represent as O-2 normally where it is just like a normal Oxygen Atom but with a negative 2 charge because it has 2 extra electrons filling its valence orbital

two pair (=) covalently bonding electrons in between both O's

plus for each O atom: two pair (< or >) of free (non-bonding) electrons at its outside.
