Question

oxygen wants to lose two electrons which results in a +2 charge. is that true or false​

Answer 1

Answer:

false

Explanation:

electronic configuration of oxygen is 2,6   that means it has 6 electrons in its last shell. but it can hold 8.so it is unstable so to be stable oxygen needs another 2 electrons so that it becomes 8 ( 6 + 2 = 8 )

so oxygen takes 2 electrons which result in -2

Answer 2

False
Gaining electrons will get you a negative charge while losing electrons will get you a positive charge
