Question
Give an example for each of the following statement
A compound in which two Covalent bonds are formed.

Solution
Formation of oxygen molecule (O2): Each oxygen atom has six valence electrons (2, 6). These two atoms achieve a stable electronic configuration (octet) by sharing two pair of electrons. Hence a double bond is formed in between the two atoms.
