a. one of the atoms in the molecule has more than eight valence electrons

b. single covalent bonds do not give all of the atoms in the molecule eight valence electrons

c. the ions involved have charges larger than one.

d. there is at least one hydrogen atom involved in the bond.

e. the atoms involved have high electronegativities.

Answer:

B, Single Covalent bonds do not give all of the atoms in the molecule eight valence electrons.

Explanation:

In most cases, this is the reason why atoms form multiple covalent bonds. A prominent example would be [tex]N_{3}[/tex]. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons each, meaning it needs 3 more electrons to fill its outer shell. Nitrogen can fill its outer shell by simply forming 3 covalent bonds with another Nitrogen atom.
