Understand the basic structure of an O2 molecule: It consists of two oxygen atoms bonded together.
Recall that oxygen atoms have six valence electrons each, and they need to share electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration.
In an O2 molecule, the two oxygen atoms form a double bond to share electrons. A double bond consists of one sigma (σ) bond and one pi (π) bond.
A sigma bond is formed by the head-on overlap of atomic orbitals, while a pi bond is formed by the side-to-side overlap of p orbitals.
Therefore, in an O2 molecule, there is one sigma bond and one pi bond present between the two oxygen atoms.
