I am wandering whether this can happen? When a molecule shares 4 pairs of bonded electons? Say like a C2 Molecule?? maybe. Could it happen or does it happen??

Yes, a molecule can share 4 bonded electrons. This is known as a double bond and is commonly seen in molecules such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2).
A molecule shares 4 bonded electrons through a process called covalent bonding. This occurs when atoms share their outermost electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The sharing of 4 bonded electrons allows for the formation of strong bonds between atoms, making molecules more stable. This is important for the structure and function of many compounds in living organisms.
Yes, a molecule can have multiple sets of 4 bonded electrons. This is known as multiple bonding and can occur in molecules such as nitrogen (N2) and ethene (C2H4).
The sharing of 4 bonded electrons can influence the shape of a molecule, as it affects the arrangement of atoms and the distance between them. For example, molecules with double bonds tend to have a linear shape, while molecules with single bonds have a more bent or angular shape.
