The number of electrons is 10.
O₂ refers to a molecule of oxygen, which consists of two oxygen atoms. Each oxygen atom has 8 electrons, so in total, O₂ has 16 electrons. If you are asking about the number of electrons in an ion of oxygen, such as O²⁻ (which has gained two extra electrons), then it would have 10 electrons per atom, totaling 20 electrons for the O²⁻ ion.
No, you should subtract the ion charge from the total number of valence electrons of the neutral atom to find the total number of electrons available for bonding in a positive ion. This is because a positive ion has lost electrons compared to the neutral atom.
The total charge of atoms is equal to the number of positive protons balanced by the total number of negative electrons in a neutral atom which balances the number of electrons.
Oxygen has 6 core electrons.
Since oxygen is not a metal, its ions are not normally written with Roman numbers suffixed, but an oxide ion, with formula O-2, contains 10 electrons.
The sulfate ion has a total of 32 electrons. This is calculated by adding the number of electrons in a sulfur atom (16) and the number of electrons contributed by the four oxygen atoms (4 × 6 = 24) in the ion.
A carbonate ion (CO3^2-) has a total of 24 electrons. This is calculated by adding the number of electrons in a carbon atom (6 electrons per carbon atom) to the number of electrons in three oxygen atoms (8 electrons per oxygen atom).
There are 2 electrons in an oxygen ion with a charge of -2. This is because oxygen normally has 6 electrons, but when it gains 2 extra electrons to become an ion with a charge of -2, it now has 8 electrons total.
actually there are 6 electrons in carbon and oxygen has 8 electrons and it gains 2 electrons to make it a negative ion so the total number of ions are 32

A phosphate ion (PO4^3-) has a total of 32 electrons. This is because the phosphorus atom contributes 15 electrons (with its atomic number being 15) and each of the four oxygen atoms contributes 6 electrons (since oxygen has 6 electrons each).
A neutral oxygen atom has 8 electrons. When oxygen becomes an ion, it can gain 2 electrons to become O2-, losing the neutral 8 electrons to become a total of 10 electrons in the ion.
Sodium ion (Na+) has 10 valence electrons and oxygen ion (O2-) has 8 valence electrons.
No, you should subtract the ion charge from the total number of valence electrons of the neutral atom to find the total number of electrons available for bonding in a positive ion. This is because a positive ion has lost electrons compared to the neutral atom.
This appears to be the formula for the oxide ion. Since oxygen has 8 protons, and this ion has a 2- charge, it must have 10 electrons.
It needs 2 electrons for this. Oxygen makes -2 ion by gaining 2 electrons. It is the most stable ion that oxygen makes.
In the Lewis structure of the C2H3O2- ion (acetate ion), there are a total of 24 electrons. This includes 12 electrons from the carbon atoms (6 from each carbon), 3 electrons from the hydrogen atom, and 9 electrons from the oxygen atoms. The negative charge adds 2 additional electrons for a total of 24 electrons.
