Answer:

Two covalent bonds form between the two oxygen atoms because oxygen requires two shared electrons to fill its outermost shell. ... Another example of a nonpolar covalent bond is found in the methane (CH4) molecule. The carbon atom has four electrons in its outermost shell and needs four more to fill it.
