Answer:
2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.
Explanation:
The chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen gives magnesium oxide as a product.The reaction is chemically represented as:

Magnesium is a metal of group-2 with 2 valence electrons.It has atomic number of 12.
![[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BMg%5D%3D1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E63s%5E2)
In order to attain noble gas configuration it will loose two electrons.
![[Mg]^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BMg%5D%5E%7B2%2B%7D%3D1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E6)

Oxygen is a non metal of group-16 with 6 valence electrons..It has atomic number of 8.
![[O]=1s^22s^22p^4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BO%5D%3D1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E4)
In order to attain noble gas configuration it will gain two electrons.
![[O]^{2-}=1s^22s^22p^6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BO%5D%5E%7B2-%7D%3D1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E6)

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.
Answer:
(a) 21.36 ohms
(b) 5.62 A
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Potential difference, V = 120 V
Power, P = 674 W
(a) Power is given as:
P = V²/R
Where R is resistance
=> R = V²/P
R = 120²/674
R = 14400/674
R = 21.36 ohms
(b) Power is also given as:
P = I*V
Where I = Current (time rate of flow of Electric charge)
=> I = P/V
I = 674/120
I = 5.62 A
