carbon can bond with 4 different atoms.
carbon can bond with 4 different atoms.
A covalent bond between two atoms of significantly different electronegativities will be a polar covalent bond because the atoms will not share the electrons equally.
A polar covalent bond. The atoms have different electronegativities.
Under normal conditions, carbon will bond with a maximum of 4 other atoms.
If by 'types' you mean can different atoms like Hydrogen(H) and Sulfur(S) bond together, the answer is yes. (H2S) But by the same token, atoms can still bond with the same types of atoms. O2 P4
The sticking-together of atoms of the same element is called cohesion, while between two different substances, it is called adhesion. When different atoms form a compound by electrostatic attraction, it is an ionic bond.
Only two different atoms with opposite electrical charge can form an ionic bond.

In a polar covalent bond the atoms do not share the electrons equally, whereas in a nonpolar covalent bond the atoms do share the electrons equally.
The mass can increase. The particles can arrange in different ways. The mass can decrease. The atoms can bond to different atoms.
Have you heard of the term "bond energy"? The bonds between atoms of the same element, and atoms of different elements all contain a certain amount of energy. When a bond is broken, energy is released. When a bond is formed, energy is required. For example, two Carbon atoms bonding (they can have a C-C single bond, a C=C double bond, or a triple bond).
