E MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION O_(2) (we can see by the dot structure) share __ sets of valence electrons to form a __ bond two double covalent two double ionic two single covalent

## Step 1: Understand the questionThe question is asking about the type of bond formed by , which can be determined by looking at its Lewis dot structure. The Lewis dot structure is a graphical representation of the valence electrons of an atom.## Step 2: Analyze the Lewis dot structure of The Lewis dot structure of shows that each oxygen atom shares two pairs of electrons with the other, forming two covalent bonds. ## Step 3: Determine the type of bondSince each oxygen atom shares two pairs of electrons with the other, they form two covalent bonds. These are not ionic bonds, as ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, not the sharing. They are also not single covalent bonds, as there are two pairs of shared electrons, not just one.
