EzraOxygen has 8 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 6 in the outer shell. The outer shell is not full, so oxygen can form bonds with other atoms to complete its valence shell and achieve stability. This is why oxygen typically forms covalent bonds with other atoms to complete its outer electron shell.

How many valance electrons does oxygen have?
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.
What is the element whose atom has 8 electrons when neutral?
The number of electrons corresponds to the "index" number of the element in the periodic table. The 8th element is Oxygen, which has 8 atoms when neutral. That didnt answer the question. ANSWER Neon has 8 electrons :)
How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom as it shares electrons with hydrogen atoms as part of water molecule?
An oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outermost energy level. When it shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form a water molecule, oxygen will share 2 of its electrons with each hydrogen atom, allowing each hydrogen to complete its outermost energy level with 2 electrons. This results in oxygen having a full outermost energy level with 8 electrons.
How many electrons are needed for OF2?
For OF2, oxygen (O) has 6 electrons, and fluorine (F) has 9 electrons each. Therefore, the total number of electrons needed to form OF2 is 6 (from oxygen) + 2 x 9 (from two fluorine atoms) = 24 electrons.
In photosynthesis the source of electrons is?
The source of electrons in photosynthesis is water. Water molecules are split during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, releasing oxygen and electrons that are used to drive the production of ATP and NADPH.
