Question

7 multiple choice 1 point how do atoms achieve a full octet in single covalent bonds? two atoms share one electron. two atoms share two electrons. two atoms share two pairs of electrons. one atom completely loses two electrons to the other atom in the bond.

Explanation:

In a single covalent bond, each atom contributes one electron to form an electron - pair. This shared electron - pair counts towards the octet of both atoms. So two atoms share two electrons to achieve a full octet in single covalent bonds.

Answer:

Two atoms share two electrons.
