Identify the correctly written chemical reaction A. Reactant + Reactant = Product
B. Reactant + Reactant → Product + Product
C. Reactant + Product → Reactant + Product
D. Product + Product Reactant + Reactant

B. Reactant + Reactant -> Product + Product

Explanation:

Reactants are substances that- as the name suggests- reacts with other substances at the beginning of a reaction

Products are substances that are produced as a result of the reaction

Typically, when writing a chemical reaction, an arrow is used to show the direction the reaction is moving.  In this case, the arrows in options B and C suggest that the reaction only moves in one direction- forwards

And as mentioned above, reactants are the substances at the start of the reaction, they're what mixes together to form a new product.  

To keep things simple:

Products can't be at the beginning of a reaction since they weren't formed yet.

Similarly, reactants can't be part of the products since they already existed and didn't need to be made. In a lot cases, the reactants would be completely used up to make the products

As such, only one possible chemical reaction would follow that reasoning:

    Reactant + Reactant ->  Product + Product

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
