A neutral oxygen atom has 8 electrons. The electron configuration of oxygen is \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^4\).
The electrons occupy the following energy levels:
- The first energy level (n=1) has 2 electrons in the 1s subshell.
- The second energy level (n=2) has 6 electrons (2 in the 2s subshell and 4 in the 2p subshell).
Thus, electrons occupy 2 energy levels in total.
So the answer is **2**.
