Absolutely more than one electron pairs can be shared like in oxygen molecule double covalent bond exists as there is sharing of two electron pairs.Similarly triple bonding exists in nitrogen molecule.

Hydrogen and oxygen are what type of bonds?
Polar Covalent Bond. This is when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms in a molecule but the electrons are not equally shared. Because the Oxygen atom has a stronger pull on the electrons than the Hydrogen, the electrons will be more drawn to the Oxygen atom.
What are bonds where more than one pair of electrons are shared between two atoms?
If two electrons are shared then you have a double bond and with three electrons shared you have a triple bond. There is no other bond that exceeds a triple bond because it will make the atom have more than 8 electrons around it . This will make it unstable.
Does one atom pull on the shared electrons more than the other atom in a polar bond?
yes, they are shared equally
How do elements share electrons?
Well in chemical bonds between two atoms there are single (2 electrons shared), double (4 electrons shared) triple 6 electrons shared and quadruple bonds (8 electrons) shared.Where electrons are delocalised across more than 2 atoms, then many electrons can be shared- the ultimate is a metal where in a solid sample of a metallic element all of the valence electrons of each atom are shared so that number is very large.
What do two atoms form when they do not share electrons equally?
When electrons are transferred rather than shared, the result is an ionic compound. If electrons are shared, the result is a covalent compound. This is true even when the sharing is unequal. In a water molecule, the electrons are shared unequally, since they are more attracted to the oxygen atom than they are to the hydrogen atoms, however, the result is still a covalent bond.

What is meant by EA?
electronegativity which the ability of an electron to pull the shared pair electrons more unto it self than the other atom in the bond
What is the unit of measure for ea?
electronegativity which the ability of an electron to pull the shared pair electrons more unto it self than the other atom in the bond
Why the repulsion caused by lone pair is greater than bonding pair?
lone pair has more electrons than bond pair

Does one atom pull on the shared electrons more than the other atom in a polar bond?
yes, they are shared equally
How does the lone pair contributes to molecular shape?
The lone pair repels the electrons of the adjacent bonds more so than does a bonding pair of electrons, so thus alters the molecular geometry of the molecule.
Can atoms share more than 1 pair of electrons in a covalent bond?
yes
