Remark
The short Answer is 6. That's why the ion has a charge of minus 2. Oxygen is doing it's best to have its outer ring have 8 electrons which is the number of outer electrons contained in the outer ring of the Noble Gas Neon.

Answer 6.

Looking at the periodic table, oxygen is in group 6A, meaning it has 6 valence electrons. Another way to determine this is look for the noble gas in the same row as the element whom's valence electrons you wish to find and subtract 1 valence electron from 8 until you reach the desired element. This will be your amount of valence electrons :)

goldenfox [79]

Explanation:

Earth is known as the "Blue Planet" because 71 percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Water also exists below land surface and as water vapor in the air. Water is a finite source. The bottled water that is consumed today might possibly be the same water that once trickled down the back of a wooly mammoth. The Earth is a closed system, meaning that very little matter, including water, ever leaves or enters the atmosphere; the water that was here billions of years ago is still here now. But, the Earth cleans and replenishes the water supply through the hydrologic cycle.

Soloha48 [4]
Complete balanced equation: 2HNO₃  +  Ca(OH)₂  →  Ca(NO₃)₂  +  2H₂O

Ionized equation (with spectator ions): 
   2H⁺  +  2NO₃⁻  +  Ca²⁺  +  2OH⁻   →  Ca²⁺  +  2NO₃⁻  +  2H₂O

By eliminating the ions that are the same of both sides of the equation (spectator ions):
    
2H⁺  +   2OH⁻   →    2H₂O    [Net Ionic Equation]
