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.
Oxygen has less ionization enthalpy than fluorine because oxygen has a smaller nuclear charge compared to fluorine, leading to weaker attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. This makes it easier to remove an electron from an oxygen atom compared to a fluorine atom.
Yes, in a water molecule, the oxygen atom holds a stronger pull on the shared electrons compared to the hydrogen atoms. This results in a slight negative charge near the oxygen atom and a slight positive charge near the hydrogen atoms, creating a polar molecule.
Water would become hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) if an extra oxygen atom is added to it. Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with an additional oxygen atom compared to water, which changes its properties and reactivity.
No, COH4 is not a neutral compound. It would be a compound with a net charge, as the total charge of the hydrogen atoms would likely be positive and the charge of the oxygen atom would be negative.
Oxygen -2 Hydrogen +1
Oxygen goes to -2 Hydrogen to +1
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.
Oxygen needs 8 electrons to have no charge.
The carbon atom in the carbonyl group of a ketone does not bear a negative charge. The oxygen atom in the carbonyl group of a ketone bears a partial negative charge due to its higher electronegativity compared to carbon.
The oxygen atom would have a charge of -2 after gaining two electrons to become an oxygen ion.

It would have a negative charge. It would be a negative ion with a 2+ charge.Remember: when an atom gains electrons they become NEGATIVE.when an atom loses electrons they become POSITIVE.
Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen, meaning it attracts electrons more strongly. In a water molecule, the oxygen atom will partially pull the shared electrons towards itself, giving it a slightly negative charge while the hydrogen atoms have a slightly positive charge.
The overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms would be -2. This is because carbon has an oxidation state of +4 and each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2, resulting in a total charge of -2 for the entire molecule.
