Answer:

O2 has a double covalent bond

H2 has a single covalent bond

N2 has a triple covalent bond

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen atoms form only one covalent bond because they have only one valence electron to pair.

Since two electrons form each bond, there are a total of two pairs, or four electrons, in the bond.

The N2 Lewis structure has a triple bond between two nitrogen atoms. According to the octet rule, nitrogen atoms need to bond three times.
