hi. whats your name. i love you. i have a myspace. do you? haha. im doing my Biology homework right now. haha. my name is....

hahaa. anyways.

i love you.

byee.

Why would you post that. I'm doing my biology homework too, and that was a complete waste of my time to read that. I really hate this question. Welp thanks. Next time answer my question and I won't care that you posted all that nonsense.

Answer 2

they share 2 pairs because they both want to have 8 valence electrons, or the outermost electrons. they have 6 by themselves, if they share 2 pairs then that will give them 4 shared and 4 that are their own which equals 8

Answer 3

two
The two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule share a total of four electrons, or two pairs.

Answer 4

2 pairs of electrons because it has 6 valence electrons so it shares 2 to make 8 pairs

Answer 5

The two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule share 2 pairs of electrons in a covalent bond

Answer 6

In an oxygen molecule the atoms share 2 pairs of electrons.

Answer 7

There are 4

Answer 8

6
