Best Answer

They form a 'double covalent bond', similar to an alkene.

It is represented by 'O=O'.

Oxygen also form an allotrope ozone, (O3) where each oxygen atom forms a single covalent bond to each of the other two oxygen atoms, in a triangular formation.

Two oxygen atoms combine with two covalent bonds.

A rough picture is this, with each oxygen having two pairs of shared electrons, and two lone pairs

::O=O::
