The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the
Select one:
a. masses, in grams, of all reactants and
products,
O b. relative numbers of moles of reactants and
products,
c. number of atoms in each compound in a
reaction.
O d. number of valence electrons involved in the
reaction

the answer is C

''number of atoms in each compound in a  reaction.''

Explanation:

its a fact

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!
