Answer:

The number of electrons in the outer energy level of oxygen is 6.

Explanation:

Oxygen is present in the group 16 of the periodic table. The electronic configuration of group 16 element is $ns^{2}np^{4}$ . The number of electrons in outer energy level of group 16 element is always found to be 6.

The addition of the number of the electrons present in the valence shell orbitals of oxygen will give the total number of electrons present in the outer energy level.

The number of electron in the outer energy level of oxygen is (2 + 4) = 6.

Contrast a plant cell with an animal cell. How can you tell them apart

nlexa [21]

The main differences between a plant cell and animal cells is that plant cells have more of a rectangular shape because the cell wall is more rigid. While animal cells have more of a circular or irregular shape because they don't have a cell wall. Plant cells usually have one or more large vacuoles, while animal cells have smaller vacuoles if any are present.

How does silicon dioxide become a covalent bond. (explain)

tatuchka [14]

Silicon dioxide is SiO2. Silicon has 4 valence electrons, while each oxygen has 6 valence electrons. This can be shown as
** * *
** O * * Si * * O **
* * **
At points where there is one valence electron, represented by a lone *, the electrons will be 'shared' between the atoms. This will make silicon dioxide appear as
** *--------------- *
** O *--* Si * ------ * O **
*------- * **
, as the lines with no arrows indicate that each electron moves between the atoms, and does not stay with one forever.
