Maximum number of covalent bonds that an oxygen atom can make with hydrogen is 2.
- the ground state electronic configuration of oxygen is 2s² 2p⁴ that means it has 6 electrons in its valence shell and require two electrons are required to complete its octate.
- Two bonds are created when an electron donor atom shares the two needed electrons with oxygen. The ability of two oxygen atoms to share valence electrons results in the creation of a double bond between the two atoms.
- There are no longer any empty orbitals in the octet of oxygen after it is complete. As a result, it is unable to accept more electrons or create more bonds.
Therefore, Oxygen can only generate two bonds because it needs two additional electrons to complete its octet, after which it will run out of empty orbitals in which to receive additional electrons and create additional bonds.

Protons
Explanation: the atomic number is the same as the number of protons
Answer:
d
Explanation:
Carbohydrates are compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Therefore, a is true.
An empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms present in a compound. Therefore, C2H4O2 and C3H6O3, (if you simplified them like you would a fraction) would be CH2O. Therefore b is correct,
They also have the same % composition, with a ratio of 1 carbon : 2 hydrogen : 1 oxygen. Therefore, c is correct.
Since a, b and c are all correct, the answer is d, all of the above are true.
Explanation:
Hydrogen does not obey the octet rule. Boron does not always
obey the octet rule and in fact forms Lewis acids such as BF3 which
only has 6 electrons.
CH and O is the reactants while CO and H2O is the products
