Explanation:
There are 2 missing electrons in the oxygen valence shell. It can therefore only form a maximum of 2 bonds, if both are sigma bonds. Oxygen is capable of forming two single bonds because on its outer shell it has six valence electrons. ... Therefore, to be stable, oxygen needs to gain two electrons.
