An oxygen molecule contains a double bond because the two atoms of oxygen share a total of?

Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outer shell. A full shell needs 8 electrons. Each atom therefore needs to 'borrow' 2 electrons from the other. You could therefore consider that 4 electrons are shared in the molecule (each borrows 2 of the others electrons).

One molecule of Oxygen contains two atoms.
A molecule is said to be organic if it contains?
An organic molecule is a molecule and that contains carbon atoms that are connected to hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen atoms. Glucose has carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms so it is organic.
How many hydrogen atoms in an oxygen molecule?
None. An oxygen molecule contains two oxygen atoms and nothing else.
How many molecules of oxygen is need to make water?
None. A water molecules contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen only contains oxygen.
Does the water molecule have a bent geometry shape?
yes it does, because the oxygen contains lone pairs which makes the water molecule a bent geometry shape.
