Single bonds to carbon are usually freely rotational, but double and triple bonds usually are not. Rotation can also be hindered by steric factors; the carbon-carbon single bonds in cyclopropane, for example, are not freely rotational because of the constraint of the cyclic structure.

What are examples of covalent bonds besides water?
Single, double, and triple carbon-carbon bonds; carbon-hydrogen bonds; carbon-halogen bonds; hydrogen-hydrogen bonds; nitrogen-nitrogen bonds; single and double carbon-oxygen bonds; silicon-oxygen bonds in silicone polymers.
What are held together by multiple covalent bonds?
Examples are oxygen, nitrogen , alkenes with carbon carbon double bonds, alkynes with carbon carbon triple bonds, the carbon oxygen double bonds in carbon dioxide
Does carbon form covalent bonds or metallic bonds?
As a nonmetal carbon forms covalent bonds.
What is example of polar aprotic solvent and nonpolar aprotic solvent?
An example of a polar aprotic solvent is THF, or tetrahydrofuran. It has the carbon-oxygen bond making it polar, but it has no protons that can freely dissociate form the compound. An example of a non-polar aprotic solvent is hexanes. hexanes have only carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bonds, making it non-polar. They also do not have any protons that can freely dissociate from the compound
How many bonds does carbon make with oxygen in carbon dioxide?
Carbon makes four bonds with oxygen in carbon dioxide.
What factor determines how much linoleic acid can twist and bend its shape?
carbon-carbon doble bonds.
What are examples of covalent bonds besides water?
Single, double, and triple carbon-carbon bonds; carbon-hydrogen bonds; carbon-halogen bonds; hydrogen-hydrogen bonds; nitrogen-nitrogen bonds; single and double carbon-oxygen bonds; silicon-oxygen bonds in silicone polymers.
Can freely rotate about the carbon bonds because they only have single bonds?
Single bonds allow free rotation. Free rotation may be hindered sterically (large substituents that "bang" into one another " or due to hyperconjugation as in rotation barrier in ethane.
What are held together by multiple covalent bonds?
Examples are oxygen, nitrogen , alkenes with carbon carbon double bonds, alkynes with carbon carbon triple bonds, the carbon oxygen double bonds in carbon dioxide
In what bonds is the chemical energy stored in fats and in carbohydrates?
In fats, its mainly stored in carbon-carbon bonds. In carbs, its mainly stored in both carbon-carbon bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds.
What is stored in carbon bonds?
Glucose is stored in carbon bonds.
In chemistry a substance containing carbon-carbon bonds or carbon-hydrogen bonds are called?
Organic--Definition: In Chemistry, a substance or molecule containing carbon-carbon bonds...
Carbon can react to how many atoms at one time?
It depends on the atoms it is reacting with. If carbon it is 4 eg CH4 is methane, if oxygen it is two eg CO2 is carbon dioxide. This is because carbon can form four bonds, and carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds are double bonds.
Organic molecules are linked by what bonds?
They are linked together by Carbon to Carbon bonds.
Does carbon form covalent bonds or metallic bonds?
As a nonmetal carbon forms covalent bonds.

How many of these bonds can be formed by a single carbon atoms hydrocarbons?
A carbon can form a maximum of four bonds.
