A non-metal usually forms 2 covalent bonds in its compounds. How many electrons will it have in its valence shell?

In covalent bonds, non-metals share electrons to attain full valence shells.
This non-metal usually forms 2 covalent bonds. This leads me to believe that it has 6 valence electrons to begin with and will take 2 more, one from each bonds. Such that it ends with a full valence shell of 8 electrons.

A non-metal that forms 2 covalent bonds typically has 6 electrons in its valence shell. This allows the non-metal to share 2 additional electrons and achieve a full outer shell of 8. Completing the octet makes the atom more stable.
