What is the relationship between a scientific theory and a scientific law? (2 points) a. a theory becomes a law after years of experimentation. b. a law becomes a theory after it is verified by scientists around the world. c. a law describes what happens but a theory explains why it happens. d. a theory is a mathematical prediction but a law is an explanation.

That would be C. A law is what is observed to occur and a theory is an explanation.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
