Asked by Jen
The homework question said "which 2nd row element has 6 valence electrons and a valence of 2?"
I don't really understand the question, because oxygen would be the element with the 6 valence electrons, but wouldn't that mean that it has a valence of 6? Does the "valence of 2" mean that it can make 2 bonds to fill its octet?
