    Sharing of 4 electrons between two atoms results in two double bonds. This can be see in the case of oxygen molecule (O2)

    Atomic number of O = 8

    Electron configuration of O = 1s²2s²2p⁴

    Valence electron configuration: 2s²2p⁴

    When 2 O atoms combine they share 4 electrons to form 2 double bonds. In addition, there are two lone pairs on each O atom.

    Structural formula: O=O
