A double bond is formed when two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms. Each pair consists of 2 electrons. Therefore, in a double bond, a total of 4 electrons are shared.
The correct answer is **A 2 electrons** (although this could be interpreted to mean there are 4 electrons involved, the answer provided refers to one pair). If the question asked for how many pairs, the correct response would be 2 pairs (or 4 electrons).
However, to clarify, if you were to choose based on the typical representation of the shared electrons in a double bond, **A would be the best representation in terms of pairs**. If the context specifically meant how many total electrons are shared, the answer should emphasize the total, which is indeed 4.
Thus, for clarity:
- Total electrons shared in a double bond: 4 electrons
- Answering strictly based on one pair: 2 (Option A).
