Yes. Carbon atoms form to create certain types of chains. Straight Carbon Chains, Branched Carbon Chains, and Carbon Rings. Carbon can form single, double or triple bonds. You're welcome
Carbon. Your welcome :)
Carbon
"Covalent bonds link carbon atoms together in long chains that form the skeletal framework for organic molecules. These carbon skeletons may vary in: -Length -Shape -Number and Location of double bonds -Other elements covalently bonded to available sites This variation in carbon skeletons contributes to the complexity and diversity of organic molecules..."

hydrocarbons are carbon chains with hydrogen (and hydrogen only) bonded to them. So, most fuels are carbon chains with hydrogen bonded to them. Octane (gasoline) is C8H18

All fats contain chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. In a saturated fat the carbon atoms in the chains are boned to as many hydrogen atoms as possible (that is, 2 each, with the last carbon bonded to 3) and all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds. In an unsaturated fat some of the carbons are not bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms, and those carbon atoms that are missing hydrogen atoms are double bonded to a neighboring carbon.
Two single chains bond together. The bonded chains twist together to form a double helix.
Carbon is unique because it can form four bonds, allowing it to act as the backbone for many molecules, and also because of the many structures it can form (rings, linear chains, double-bonded chains, triple-bonded chains, flat sheets, and buckminsterfullerene.
A straight chain hydrocarbon has two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon (the terminal carbons). A branched chain hydrocarbon has more than two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon (the terminal carbons at the ends of each branch). A cycloalkane (cyclic hydrocarbon) has no carbons that are bonded to only one carbon - the chain is hooked back to itself.
Carbon atoms can form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. They do NOT form geodesic domes.
