How many additional electrons does this atom of oxygen need in its valence shell to satisfy the octet rule? two four six eight

the answer is 2 electrons

Explanation:

The oxygen atom has atomic number 8, therefore its electronic configuration is

         1s² 2s² 2p⁴

the sublevel s has a capacity for 2 electrons so it is full

the sublevel p has capacity for 6 electrons, as in this atom it has only 4 electrons it needs two (2) more electrons to have its full capacity and to achieve maximum stability.

Consequently the answer is 2 electrons

and 1and 1

a.metals can become magnetic if they have many spinning electrons that create magnetic fields.d.only some metals are attracted by magnets; these metals are called ferromagnetic.

d.wrapping an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties and applying an electric current.
