normally two unless the molecule formed is ionic though that still probally wouldn't make sense

Is Oxygen a covalent bond or a ionic bond?
Oxygen is an element. It forms chemical bonds with another oxygen atom, forming a nonpolar covalent bond. It forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals, and ionic bonds with metals.
What are examples of covalent bonds besides water?
Single, double, and triple carbon-carbon bonds; carbon-hydrogen bonds; carbon-halogen bonds; hydrogen-hydrogen bonds; nitrogen-nitrogen bonds; single and double carbon-oxygen bonds; silicon-oxygen bonds in silicone polymers.
Do hydrogen bonds always involve hydrogen?
As far as I know: yes! They involve hydrogen bonded to an electronegative element (like oxygen). This Hydrogen in the molecule is then attracted to another electronegative element (like oxygen, nitrogen etc)
Does carbon and oxygen make carbon dioxide?
Yes Carbon and Oxygen form carbon dioxide, whenone molecule of oxygen combines with a single atom of carbon.Actually, oxygen is a diatomic element, an element usually found bonded with another one (O2), making it be 2 atoms of oxygen combining with 1 atom of carbon. And also the prefix di- represents 2 atoms of oxygen. This has to do with non metals bonding with non-metals (covalent bonds).
What type of chemical bond does nitric acid have?
Nitric acid, HNO3 has covalent bonds. Two nitrogen-oxygen single bonds, one nitrogen-oxygen double bond and an oxygen-hydrogen single bond. There is a formal +1 charge on the nitrogen center, and a formal -1 charge on the single-bonded oxygen without the hydrogen atom.
Why is it that oxide is a compound not an element?
Oxygen is the element. It's a compound because the oxygen bonds with another element to form an oxide.

Which element has the most bonds oxygen or nitrogen?
Nitrogen.

And also the prefix di- represents 2 atoms of oxygen. This has to do with non metals bonding with non-metals (covalent bonds).
Why is Carbon different from many other elements?
Carbon is an element as it is made of one type of atom.
What are some examples of covalent bond?
Single, double, and triple carbon-carbon bonds; carbon-hydrogen bonds; carbon-halogen bonds; hydrogen-hydrogen bonds; nitrogen-nitrogen bonds; single and double carbon-oxygen bonds; silicon-oxygen bonds; nitrogen-oxygen bonds; etc.
Does carbon dioxide have a single bond?
No. The two carbon to oxygen bonds are both double bonds.
Is oxygen is element or compound?
Oxygen is both a compound and an element. In nature, Oxygen forms bonds with itself to form a compound consisting of two elemental oxygen atoms to form one compounded oxygen molecule. This is O2.
What type of chemical bond does nitric acid have?
Nitric acid, HNO3 has covalent bonds. Two nitrogen-oxygen single bonds, one nitrogen-oxygen double bond and an oxygen-hydrogen single bond. There is a formal +1 charge on the nitrogen center, and a formal -1 charge on the single-bonded oxygen without the hydrogen atom.
What are oxygen molecules?
more than one oxygen atom joined together by single covalent bonds
