Think about atoms, molecules, elements, and compounds. How can you relate it to your own body? To the world around you, right now? Please explain in four sentences.

Everything we see comes from the transferring of electrons, or redox reactions. Fire, the screen you are staring at, and many other chemical reactions that happen everyday, we don't even care to notice anymore. Everything in our bodies is made up of compounds, from simple things such as H2O, and to the food we eat, loaded with sugar, C12H22O11. From the para-benzoic acid on your sunscreen, to the O3 in the ozone layer high above us.

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!
