Cl2 has a single bond; O2 has a double bond; and N2 has a triple bond.

Cl2 has a sigma bond, O2 had a Pi Bond and N2 has a Sigma and a Pi bond

a double bond for O2 is o.k., but its not the absolute truth.

The oxygen we breath is a diradical. It has a single bond and both O have a unpaired electron.
