Q
Q: What is the electronic configuration of a neutral oxygen atom?
Solution:
Oxygen has 8 electrons. The electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p4.
Steps: 8
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that a neutral oxygen atom has 8 electrons.
Step 2: Electrons are arranged in energy levels or shells around the nucleus.
Step 3: The first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. So, we fill this level first: 1s2.
Step 4: The second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. We fill this level next.
Step 5: In the second energy level, we fill the 2s sublevel first with 2 electrons: 2s2.
Step 6: After filling the 2s sublevel, we have 4 electrons left to place in the 2p sublevel.
Step 7: We fill the 2p sublevel with the remaining 4 electrons: 2p4.
Step 8: Combine all the filled sublevels to write the complete electronic configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p4.
