    what happen when two atoms of element with 1s2 2s2 2p4 electron configuration move toward each other is that a

    double covalent bond is formed.

    Explanation

    A double covalent bond is formed when two pairs of electrons are shared between the atoms.

    Oxygen is the element with 1s2 2s2 2p4 electron configuration.

    when two oxygen atom move toward each other they form a double covalent by sharing four electron. That is two electron from each oxygen atom to form O2 molecule.
