Maximum number of covalent bonds that an oxygen atom can make with hydrogen is 2.

  • the ground state electronic configuration of oxygen is 2s² 2p⁴ that means it has 6 electrons in its valence shell and require two electrons are required to complete its octate.
  • Two bonds are created when an electron donor atom shares the two needed electrons with oxygen. The ability of two oxygen atoms to share valence electrons results in the creation of a double bond between the two atoms.
  • There are no longer any empty orbitals in the octet of oxygen after it is complete. As a result, it is unable to accept more electrons or create more bonds.

Therefore, Oxygen can only generate two bonds because it needs two additional electrons to complete its octet, after which it will run out of empty orbitals in which to receive additional electrons and create additional bonds.

You should give answers since some people will just try and find any answer, which happened to me. So like if you have answers for the question just put them like A B C D kinda like true or false for others to know what they got instead of giving them more work, and then they just give you random answers.

suter [353]

Balanced chemical reaction: 2KCl + Pb(NO₃)₂ → PbCl₂ + 2KNO₃.

According to principle of mass conservation, number of atoms must be equal on both side of balanced chemical reaction.  

KCl is potassium chloride.

Pb(NO₃)₂ is lead(II) nitrate.

KNO₃ is potassium nitrate.

PbCl₂ is lead(II) chloride.
