​

Answer 1

They share 1 atom each ........

Answer 2

Covalent bonds are the most important means of bonding in organic chemistry. The formation of a covalent bond is the result of atoms sharing some electrons. The bond is created by the overlapping of two atomic orbitals [1]. This process is illustrated in Figure 3-4. In this type of bond, each shared electron will be counted toward both atoms’ valence shells for the purpose of satisfying the octet rule. In a single bond one pair of electrons is shared, with one electron being contributed from each of the atoms. Double bonds share two pairs of electrons and triple bonds share three pairs of electrons. Bonds sharing more than one pair of electrons are called multiple covalent bonds.
