Yes, O2 is a covalent bond.
8 valence (outer-shell) electrons is a stable configuration, which is what every atom is trying to achieve.
There are only 6 valence electrons in one single oxygen atom, which means it is looking for another two valence electrons.
Since both oxygen atoms don't want to lose any valence electrons but want to gain two valence electrons, this means that they must each share two of their own with the other atom. Hence both atoms then have eight valence electrons. But because of their sharing electrons, they are stuck together because neither wants to lose their own two valence electrons. This is a covalent bond.
What else can I help you with?
Is H2O ionic or covolant bond?
H2O (water) has a covalent bond between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. In a covalent bond, the atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule.
Does h2o contain a coordinate covalent bond?
No. Although the bonds in H2O are covalent, they are not coordinate covalent bonds.
What contains a coordinate covalent bond KCl HF H2O F2?
KCl does not contain a coordinate covalent bond as it is an ionic compound. HF, H2O, and F2 contain coordinate covalent bonds, where a shared pair of electrons comes from one atom (donor) to form the bond.
Is H2o covalent bond or ionic bond?
it is a polar covalent bond. Scince oxygen does not follow the octet rule(only 8 electrons, needs ten) and hydrogen has one electron, two hydrogen electrons plus eight oxygen electrons equal ten :)
Is it a double covelent bond holding hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the H2O molecule?
No. The H2O molecule contains only single covalent bonds.
What is an example of a covalent bond?
H2o
Is H2O ionic or covolant bond?

Does h2o contain a coordinate covalent bond?
No. Although the bonds in H2O are covalent, they are not coordinate covalent bonds.
What Type Of Bond Does H2O Have?
H2O has a covalent bond between Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms. They share electrons and hence achieve noble gas configuration. The covalent bond present is a polar bond.
How common is a covalent bond in the human body?
The bond formed with carbon is essentially the covalent bond. So all the organic molecules in your body has got covalent bond.
What contains a coordinate covalent bond KCl HF H2O F2?
KCl does not contain a coordinate covalent bond as it is an ionic compound. HF, H2O, and F2 contain coordinate covalent bonds, where a shared pair of electrons comes from one atom (donor) to form the bond.
Why H20is non polar covalent bond?
H2O has polar covalent bonds, not non-polar covalent bonds.
Is H2o covalent bond or ionic bond?
it is a polar covalent bond. Scince oxygen does not follow the octet rule(only 8 electrons, needs ten) and hydrogen has one electron, two hydrogen electrons plus eight oxygen electrons equal ten :)
Is it a double covelent bond holding hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the H2O molecule?
No. The H2O molecule contains only single covalent bonds.
Does H2O or CaO have stronger bond?
H2O has a stronger bond then CaO because H2O is a covalent compound (made up of two nonmetals), whereas CaO is an ionic compound (made up of both a metal and nonmetal), and covalent bonds are stronger then ionic bonds.
Does H2O have at least one ionic bond?
H2O does not have any ionic bonds. The bond between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water is a polar covalent bond, where electrons are shared unequally leading to a slight negative charge on the oxygen and a slight positive charge on the hydrogens.
What is the name of the covalent compound H2O?
Water's chemical formula is given in the question.
