Pauli exclusion principle limits how the two "outside" oxygens can be bonded. And the "third" electron that the center oxygen is required to donate takes a lot of energy... another one would require even more (making it even more likely to sever). Note that the two outer oxygenss spend a little time each with only a single shared electron, simply swapping the extra electron around...

coordinate covalent bond is found in a molecule of ozone, O3. Here oxygen atom coordinates a non-bonding electron pair on an oxygen molecule to produce ozone.

Q: Why doesn't ozone have two double bonds or a coordinate bond and a covalent bond i.e there is a lone pair electron in O2 which can be shared with the free radical.?

How does the partial charge relate to the bond dipole?

Polar covalent bonds lie between the two extremes. They are characterized by an unsymmetrical electron distribution in which the bonding electrons are attracted somewhat more strongly by one atom than the other. The disparity of electron distribution causes one side to be slightly negative (δ-) and the other to be slightly positive (δ+).

Electrons and protons attract each other because electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge

Why is usually only one electron removed from an atom?

An electron has several shells with electron. When these shells are completely filled, the most outer shell doesnt relatively feel much attraction of the electrons towards the nucleus. Therefore it is possible that one electron gets out of the shells. If this is done, the atom has too little amount of electrons, it needs one more. The attraction force is then increased, which means it takes a lot of more energy to remove the second electron, let alone the third
