Answer 2

⭐Answer:-⭐

In its compounds, Oxygen usually has an oxidation number of -2 , {O-²}.

Oxygen has an electron configuration of

1s²2s²4p²

To complete its valence shell and satisfy the octet rule, the oxygen atom will take on two electrons and become O-².

In peroxides, such as H2O2,Na2O2 & BaO2, each oxygen atom has an oxidation number of -1.

In the free element, O2 , each oxygen atom has an oxidation number of zero.
