$\huge \star \underline \pink{answer}$

Molecular Oxygen

The simple electron dot diagram indicates that O2 has a double bond (one sigma bond and one pi bond) between the two oxygen atoms. Each oxygen also has 2 non-bonding pairs of electrons. When we count the shared electrons and the non-bonding electrons for each oxygen atom, we get 8 electrons.
