Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is

O:8:1s^22s^22p^4

The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.  

In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.

O^{2-}:10:1s^22s^22p^6

Thich of the following is a chemical property2
Dimas [21]

Answer:

"Freezing point  and ability to react with oxygen" are chemical properties

Explanation:

The change of liquid into solid is the freezing point. The melting point is more than the freezing point in certain cases of mixtures for certain organic compounds like fats. As soon as the mixture freezes it becomes solid and which results in change in the composition from the liquid and solid in this way the it drastically reduces the freezing point. The melting point gets higher due to the pressure. This happens due to the release of heat of which results in the rise of temperature to the freezing point .Also the reaction of elements with oxygen which leads to formation of new substance is also an chemical property
