A skateboarder moving at 2 m/s starts skating down a ramp. As the skateboarder heads down the ramp, he accelerates to a speed of 6 m/s in 4sec onds. What is the skateboarder’s acceleration?

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: )
