The answer is: four.

For example compound carbon dioxide (CO₂):

Electron configuration of carbon: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².  

Electron configuration of oxygen: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Carbon atom is sp2 hybridized, it has three sp2 orbitals and one p orbital, they form four bonds.

Oxygen has two p orbitals, they form two bonds (one sigma and one pi bond).

p orbitals from carbon and oxygen overlap and form pi bond.

10 points<br><br> How many more oxygen atoms are in 3Mg3(PO4)2 than in 4Al2O3?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

12 more oxygen

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest particles that can take part in a chemical reaction

The given compounds are:

        3Mg₃(PO₄)₂  

 Number of oxygen atoms  = 3[2 x 4]  = 24 oxygen atoms

For;

             4Al₂O₃;

   Number of oxygen atoms  = 4 x 3  = 12 oxygen atoms

In   3Mg₃(PO₄)₂  , there are 24  - 12  = 12 more oxygen atoms than in  4Al₂O₃;
