Answer:
Two electrons fit in the first shell out from the nucleus and eight fit in the second. Every element with more protons than the two of Helium needs to work on shells outside the first one. one you get to ten, you have filled the first two shells.
In a water molecule, oxygen forms one covalent bond with EACH of TWO hydrogen atoms. As a result, the oxygen atom has a stable arrangement of 8 valence electrons. Each hydrogen atom forms only one bond because it needs only two electrons to be stable.

Answer:
+3
Explanation:
The oxygen all have a -2 oxidation state. (peroxides are exceptions)
The chemical structure is symmetrical. Both carbon are equivalent.
2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (oxidation state of oxygen) = charge of ion.
2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (-2) = -2
oxidation state of carbon = +3
