Answer:

The formation of double and triple bonds is not as widespread among the atoms of the periodic table as one might expect. At least one of the atoms involved in a multiple bond is almost always C, N, or O, and in most cases both atoms are members of this trio

Covalent bonding occurs when electrons are shared between atoms. Double and triple covalent bonds occur when four or six electrons are shared between two atoms, and they are indicated in Lewis structures by drawing two or three lines connecting one atom to another.
