Detailed Instructions: Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.
Problem:Passage: Oxygen has 6 valence electrons in its ground state. Remember that ground state refers to the neutral atom in which the electrons occupy the lowest possible energy positions. Oxygen is two electrons away from being isoelectronic with the nearest noble gas. Oxygen will therefore form ions by gaining two electrons to become isoelectronic with neon, as shown below:. Answer: lowest energy positions
Solution:
What kind of energy positions do electrons occupy during ground state?
