Double Covalent.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

O₂ exist as molecules. The subscript "2" indicates that there are only two oxygen atoms in each molecule. That rules out the possibility of ionic bonds. Ions would combine to form ionic compounds. Those compounds would contain a very large number of atoms.

Oxygen is a group 16 (VIA) element. There are six valence electrons in each oxygen atom. Each atom is two electrons away from an octet of eight electrons. An atom shares one electron with another for each covalent bond that it forms with another atom. Each oxygen atom needs two electrons and would form two covalent bonds.

There would be two covalent bonds in each O₂ molecule. The result is a double covalent bond.

Allright for <span><span>H2</span>O:</span> - The central atom is? --> the oxygen atom - How many atoms are bonded to the central atom? --> 2 hydrogen atoms - How many lone pairs of electrons are on the central atom? --> O has 6 electrons and has 2 single bonds, so 2 pairs - How many single bonds are there in this molecule? --> 2 - How many multiple bonds (double and/or triple) are there in this molecule? --> none For each of your molecules, answer the following questions: 1. Determine the electronegativity between the atoms of each molecule. Electronegativity O = 3.44 Electronegativity H = 2.20 3.44-2.20=1.24, so the electronegativity between O and H = 1.24 2. Identify the bond as either ionic or covalent. Electronegativity of 0.0-1.7 = covalent Electronegativity of 1.7-3.3 = ionic So it's a covalent bond 3. State whether the molecule is polar or non polar. Electronegativity of 0.5-1.7= polar covalent 4. Identify the structure as having hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole moments or London dispersion forces (LDF). <span><span>H2</span>O</span><span> = hydrogen bonding</span>
