A covalent bond containing two shared pairs of electrons.

One shared pair forms a single bond; two shared pairs form a double bond.

A covalent bond formed from two shared pairs of electrons.

The oxygen atoms share two pairs, producing a double bond. Each oxygen also has two lone pairs.

A covalent bond in which two atoms share two pairs of electrons.

For O₂ and CO₂, remember that a double bond contains two shared pairs of electrons—not two electrons in total.

Remember that a double bond contains two shared pairs and a triple bond contains three shared pairs.

Count the bonds around each carbon atom: a double bond counts as two covalent bonds.
