An atom has four electrons in its valence shell. what type(s) of covalent bonds is it capable of forming with oxygen? an atom has four electrons in its valence shell. what type(s) of covalent bonds is it capable of forming with oxygen? single bonds only it cannot form covalent bonds with oxygen single and double bonds double bonds only

From the octet rule, an element would only be stable if it has a total of eight electrons in its valence shell. Therefore this atom can still acquire 4 more electrons. Since oxygen has 2 available electrons, hence the atom can either form a single bond or double bond with oxygen.

single and double bonds
