Answer: Oxygen usually forms two covalent bonds or a covalent double bond.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of 2 electrons, 1 electron from each of the atoms sharing their electrons.

The number of bonds that each element can form depends on the number of valence (outermost) electrons it contains. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 more electrons thereby forming a double bond.

Based on the molar masses, how can you tell that an equation is balanced?

Ilya [14]

When you work with molar mass, you solve for the quantity of ''Moles'' within the substance by converting Mass. The way you can tell the equation is balanced would be by knowing whether the moles were equivalent on both sides or not. Therefore, if they are equal, it is balanced considering you have the same amount of moles on each side of the equation.
