Understand the octet rule: Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full set of eight valence electrons, resembling the electron configuration of a noble gas.
Identify the atomic number of Oxygen: Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means it has 8 electrons in total.
Determine the electron configuration of Oxygen: The electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁴, indicating that Oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell (2s² 2p⁴).
Calculate the number of electrons needed to fulfill the octet rule: Since Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, it needs 2 more electrons to complete its valence shell and satisfy the octet rule.
Conclude that Oxygen needs 2 additional electrons to achieve a full octet in its valence shell.
