Why do two oxygen atoms form a double covalent bond?

Chemistry
1 answer:
elena-s [515]4 years ago
5 0

A lone oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell which is not very stable, whereas as full octet (8 outer shell electrons) is stable. In order to achieve this two oxygen atoms will share 4 electrons, each contributing 2 electrons. Since these electrons exist within the orbitals of both atoms, to oxygen atoms essentially achieve a full octet.

What mass of oxygen is needed to combust and produced 6.4 moles of carbon dioxide gas?
N76 [4]
You have already gotten the balanced equation. And the ratio of mol number of reactants and production is the ratio of coefficient. So there is 6.4/8*11=8.8 mol oxygen needed. The mass is 8.8*32=281.6 g.
