Answer:

carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! The carbon dioxide molecule has a double covalent bond, where two pairs of electrons are shared. Carbon shares two electrons with one oxygen molecule and two electrons with another oxygen molecule. Each oxygen shares a pair of electrons so that carbon can complete its eight electrons in the last orbit. So each oxygen completes its eight electrons too.
