Because of the presence of two lone pairs on Oxygen and due to polarity of the two Hydrogens, H20 can form 4 Hydrogen bonds. Bollaram Dileep Kumar
Hydrogen: 1 Oxygen: 2 Nitrogen:3 Carbon: 4
Bond for HydrogenBonds for Oxygen (in peroxides: 1 bond)Bonds for Nitrogen (in nitrate: 5 bonds. Even 1, 2 and 4 are possible)Bonds for Carbon
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds

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.
A carbon atom needs four electrons to have a full outer shell so I guess it can form a maximum of four bonds.
Carbon can form 4 covalent bonds as it has 4 valence electrons.

Carbon can only form bonds with a maximum of 4 other molecules. Carbon can only form bonds with a maximum of 4 other molecules.

No, silicon can form only four covalent bonds.
Maximum of four bonds. It can form four
