Answer:

2s²2p⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxygen is an element on the periodic table with a total of 8 electrons. It's electronic configuration is given as 2,6.

Using the orbital notation we write as 1s²2s²2p⁴

Also, the valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. These electrons mostly determine the chemical properties of an atom.

Oxygen has a total of 6 electrons in its outermost shell and it is given as 2s²2p⁴
