Oxygen carries -2 charge
GrogVix [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:  -2

Explanation:

Following the shell distribution oxygen has a 2.6. configuration and an electronic configuration of [He]2{ s }^{ 2 }2{ p }^{ 4 }.This means that oxygen has 6 valence electrons that can be used in chemical reactions . In-order to obey the octet rule  it has to gain 2 more electrons to have a  2.8 shell configuration.An electron gain is usually denoted by a negative sign whereas a loss is denoted by a positive sign.Hence the -2   charge on the ion it forms.
