A neutral oxygen atom has 8 electrons. The electrons occupy the energy levels as follows:
1. The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons.
2. The second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, but since oxygen only has 6 electrons left after filling the first level, it will fully fill its first level and place the remaining 6 electrons in the second level.
So, the electrons for a neutral oxygen atom occupy **2 energy levels**.
Therefore, the answer is **2**.
1. The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons.
2. The second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, but since oxygen only has 6 electrons left after filling the first level, it will fully fill its first level and place the remaining 6 electrons in the second level.
So, the electrons for a neutral oxygen atom occupy **2 energy levels**.
Therefore, the answer is **2**.
