Which statement about electrons is not true? One electron state is a bonding orbital between nuclei One electron state is an anti-bonding orbital, which results in an absence of electron density between atoms. Both bonding orbitals and anti-bonding orbitals are created from atomic orbitals When there is a minimum number of electrons between atoms, there is a high probability of bonding.

When there is a minimum number of electrons between atoms, there is a high probability of bonding.

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!
