The electronic configuration for the oxygen atom is [math]1s^2 2s^2 2p^4[/math]. It must acquire 2 electrons to become an ion with a charge of -2 . Thus the electronic configuration for an [math]O^{2 -}[/math] ion is
Oxygen also has two unshared pairs of electrons. Thus there are 4 pairs of electrons surrounding the oxygen atom, two pairs involved in covalent bonds with hydrogen, and two unshared pairs on the opposite side of the oxygen atom. Oxygen is an electronegative or electron loving atom compared with hydrogen.xygen also has two unshared pairs of electrons.
