How Many Electron does Oxygen Have

How many electrons are there in an oxygen molecule?

1

An oxygen molecule is O2. Each oxygen atom has 8 electrons, so there are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule.

2

Common sense answer goes like this: How many protons does an O atom have? What of a O2 molecule? What is the overall charge of the O2 molecule? From there you should be able to work out that you need an equivalent amount of negative charges to balance the positive to give a neutral charge.

3

As many as in two oxygen atoms, that is 8*2=16. Of these, only 12 electrons are external, or valence, electrons, i. e., can be involved in the formation of bonds and participate in chemical events. The other 4 electrons (two for each atom) are internal, or core, electrons, and cannot be removed from the corresponding atom nor shared with other atoms.

4

Each oxygen atom has 8 electrons total. There are 2 electrons in the first shell, and 6 valence electrons (electrons that can participate in the bonding process.) When 2 atoms of oxygen bond, the molecule forms a double bond and each atom has 2 pair of electrons around it.

5

There are 8+8=16 electrons in oxygen molecule because they share there two electron each to complete there octet as in the outer most shell of a oxygen atom only 6 electrons are present and need 2 electrons more to complete octet

5

Oxygen is the chemical element with the symbol O and atomic number 8, meaning its nucleus has 8 protons. Electrons per shell 2, 6

6

oxygen atom has 8 electron, 2 in the first shell and 6 in the valance shell.

Top Answer:

The top answer is number 1.
