YES!!! It does all the time
Taking ethane CH3CH3 as an example, each carbon atom forms four single covalent bonds , three single bonds with each of the hydrogens and one single bond between the two carbons.

∙ 12y agoThink of it like this, Carbon has 5 Valence electrons and you must obey the octect rule. the 1st C has 5 , and the 2nd C has 5, thats 10 total. so you would need a double bond inbetween these 2 Carbons in order to sucessfully obey the octet rule. Therefore, C-C can only be double bonded. Although in organic chains C-C can be single, double, or triple bonded.
