What kind of bonds do the atoms in molecules of oxygen gas and nitrogen gas held together?

The atoms in molecules of oxygen gas (O2) are held together by a double covalent bond, where two pairs of electrons are shared between the oxygen atoms. In contrast, the atoms in molecules of nitrogen gas (N2) are held together by a triple covalent bond, where three pairs of electrons are shared between the nitrogen atoms.
