What can you predict based on the dot diagram of oxygen? . . o .. .. A. can not determine based on the information given B. it is an anion C. it is stable D. it is a cation

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
