Question

How many atoms does a molecule of oxygen contain?

A.

3

B.

4

C.

2

D.

5

Correct option is C


The correct answer is (c) 2.
· A molecule of oxygen, commonly referred to as O₂, contains two oxygen atoms. This diatomic molecule is the most common form of oxygen found in the Earth's atmosphere and is essential for processes such as respiration and combustion.
· Oxygen naturally bonds with another oxygen atom due to its valency, forming a stable pair with a double bond (O=O). This configuration is a result of each oxygen atom sharing two of its six outer-shell electrons with the other, satisfying the octet rule for both atoms.
