Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to become stable? two
four
six
eight

2 electrons

Explanation:

According to the octet rule, atoms must bond to each other, sharing electrons among themselves in an attempt to complete their valence shell (last layer of the electrosphere). In other words, an atom becomes stable when it has 8 electrons in its valence shell.

Oxygen atoms have six electrons in their valence shell, so to achieve the stability suggested by the octet rule (eight electrons), these atoms share two electrons, forming one oxygen gas (O₂) molecule.

it would be the percentage of food eaten by the flock

i remember doing this lab

they are known to reach a speed of 21 miles per hour
