This is an exception to the general electronegativity trend. It can be explained by looking at the electron configurations of both elements.

When you remove an electron from beryllium, you are taking away an electron from the 2s orbital. When you remove an electron from boron, you are taking an electron from the 2p orbital. The 2p electrons have more energy than the 2s, so it is easier to remove them as they can more strongly resist the effective nuclear charge of the nucleus.
Answer:
5. gains two electrons.
Explanation:
In order to determine the most stable monoatomic ion of oxygen, we need to consider the octet rule: atoms will gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.
Oxygen is in the Group 16 in the Periodic Table, so it has 6 valence electrons. Therefore, it will gain two electrons to have the electron configuration of the closest noble gas.
