Question

A(n) _____ bond joins these two oxygen atoms. Two oxygen atoms with two electron shells. The atoms share four electrons located in their outer electron shells. Each atom also has one electron pair in the inner electron shell and two electron pairs in the outer electron shell.

Answer 1

Answer:

double covalent bond  

Explanation:

Double covalent bond -

It is the type of interaction observed between two species , which share the electrons in order to attain stability , is referred to as covalent bond.

The shared electrons are referred to as the bonding pairs or the shared pairs .

Stability and completion of the octet is the driving force for the formation covalent bond.

The molecules of the organic compound usually shows this type bonding .

A double covalent bond is the one which have four shared pair of electrons , i.e. two covalent bonds.

Hence , from the question,

Oxygen is capable to show double covalent bond .
