Answer:

  • Usually any atom needs 8 electrons in its outer orbit in order to stay stable.
  • But one oxygen atom cant exist on its own, because its unstable.
  • So, it needs two more electrons in order to make it 8.
  • So, it makes a bond with another oxygen atom and shares 2 electrons each and becomes stable.
