How many electrons are shared between 2 atoms to form a double bond?

Q. A single covalent bond is formed by sharing of two electrons between two atoms.

Whenever a non-metallic combines with another non metal, sharing of electron takes place between their atoms and a covalent bond is formed. A covalent bond can also be formed between two atoms of the same non-metal. The shared electrons are counted with both the atoms due to which each atom in the resulting molecule gets an inert gas electron arrangement of 8 electrons (or 2-electrons) in the outermost shell eg : $H_{2}$ molecule.
