Oxygen has electron configuration of 2. 6. It therefore has 6 electrons in the outer energy level.
Oxygen atom needs 2 electrons to become stable.
Each oxygen atom will contribute 2 electrons to be shared
A single covalent bond is formed by two shared electrons. This means that
between the two oxygen atoms, we will have 2 covalent bonds, also known
as double bond or double covalent bond
