You Already Got The Answer Of O2 .
So, I am just providing you the answer of C2
Carbon Normally Made or it is well known to form Single, Double,Triple C-C bond .
As per VBT --- According to the recent theory the carbon forms Quadraple bond (4-bond in between two carbon ) just to satisfy the octet rule for carbon.
Like :
Where Along with 1-Sigma and 2-Pi bond , One weak "inverted" bond is also there as shown in picture which is basically made by the interaction of electrons in two outwardly pointing sp-Hybrd Orbitals.
As Per Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT) --- shows that there are two sets of paired electrons in a degenerate pi bonding set of orbitals. This gives a bond order of 2, meaning that there should exist a double bond between the two carbons in a C2 molecule.
