    Answer: Oxygen usually forms two covalent bonds or a covalent double bond.

    Explanation:

    A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of 2 electrons, 1 electron from each of the atoms sharing their electrons.

    The number of bonds that each element can form depends on the number of valence (outermost) electrons it contains. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 more electrons thereby forming a double bond.
