The element with atomic number 8 would need 2 electrons to fill its valence shell, where as hydrogen only needs 1 to fill its valence shell right?

The answer to this is 2 maximum covalent bonds, but I cannot figure out why. Science savvy people heeeelp I have a bio 2 exam coming up and my professor and TA are slow at responding to email! Thanks!

In my opinion, the most shocking news in the Mitchell report was the fact that Barry Bonds and his trainer were told the exact date of his official “random” steroid test approx 3 months ahead of time. Is it known how this information was leaked to Bonds? Did the MLB front office tell him on purpose so he wouldn’t make baseball look bad with a positive test?

First one issued 25 years ago at a coupon rate of 7% and the second 5 years ago also at a coupon rate of 7%. Both bonds have terms of 30 years and face values of $1,000. The interest rate on these today is at 10%.
