Answer:

The two atoms will contribute and share two electrons each in a double covalent bond, to form a molecule of the element.

Explanation:

Following the rule which says that an octet structure in the valence electrons shell of an atom, when two atoms of an element with the electronic configuration 1s²2s²2p⁴ comeclose to each other, they will share there electrons in covalent bonding to form a molecule, and thus attain stability by achieving an octet structure.

An atom of the element with electronic configuration 1s²2s²2p⁴, has 6 valence electrons and thus, needs two more electrons in order to achieve an octet. This is achieved by sharing two electrons with another atom of the same element which contributes two electrons as well to form a double covalent bond and a molecule of the element. Therefore, each atom would then have an octet structure in their valence shells.
