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.

The closer to the top the metal is in the list, the more active the metal is and the stronger a reducing agent the metal is. When two different metals are involved in a redox reaction, the metal higher in the list will be oxidized and give up electrons that will reduce the cation of the less active metal.
A) The limiting reactant is Al
b) Br2 is the excess reactant
c) The amount moles of AlBr3 that get produced will be equal to the number of moles of Al to begin with.
d) 0
