Oxygen has 2 electrons in the first row S orbital.pdf
0 likes•3 views
The document discusses the electron configuration of oxygen, detailing its 2 electrons in the first row s orbital, 2 in the second row s orbital, and 4 in the second row p orbital. It explains the hybridization of the 2s and 2p orbitals into an sp orbital that accommodates 6 electrons, leading to the presence of pair-bonded electrons and lone electrons for bonding. The electron configuration is represented as 1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(4).

- 1. Oxygen has 2 electrons in the first row S orbital, 2 electrons in second row S orbital, and 4 in the second row P orbital. The 2S and 2P tend to hybridize into an SP orbital with 6 electrons -- in this case it has two sets of pair-bonded electrons and two lone electrons for bonding therefore, 1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(4) answer Solution Oxygen has 2 electrons in the first row S orbital, 2 electrons in second row S orbital, and 4 in the second row P orbital.
