AI Generated Solution

To determine the number of paired electrons in the O₂ molecule, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Atomic Number of Oxygen The atomic number of oxygen (O) is 8. This means each oxygen atom has 8 electrons. ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Number of Electrons in O₂ Since O₂ consists of two oxygen atoms, the total number of electrons in the O₂ molecule is: \[ ...
