Due to K shell oxygen atom share 2 electrons with another oxygen atom
Explanation:
the atomic no of oxygen atom is 8 so in K shell , 2 electrons are shared with another oxygen atom to form di atomic molecule with the help of covalent bonding .
Oxygen is known as a diatomic molecule. Oxygen atom has atomic number as 8 so it has its K shell completely filled with 2 electrons. ... So oxygen atom shares 2 electrons with another oxygen atom to form a diatomic molecule. It forms a covalent bond that means bond is formed by sharing of electrons.
