Answer:

take this example further. Oxygen in alcohol, R−O−H , "owns" 6 valence electrons, and is neutral. Oxygen in alkoxide (or hydroxide), "owns" 7 valence electrons, and is therefore formally represented as R−O− , with the negative charge localized on the oxygen atom (3 lone pairs + 1 electron from the C−O bond).

mark me as brainliest.
