How do protons, neutrons, and electrons differ in terms of their electrical charges and locations within the atom?

Protons and Neutrons are large particles and are densely compacted into the nucleus of the atom. Protons are electrochemically positive in charge and the Neutrons are electrochemically neutral in charge. ... Electrons are electrochemically negatively charged particles that move random around the nucleus

Explanation:

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!
