- single: only one bond, C-C.
- triple: three bonds, C≡C.

What covalent bonds is the strongest triple single double nonpolar single?
triple bond is the strongest.
What type of bond does diamond graphite and buckminsterfullerene have - Single Double or Triple?
Diamond and Graphite both have single covalent bonds whereas Buckminsterfullerene has double covalent bonds.
What element has atoms that can form single double and triple covalent bonds with other atoms of carbon?
Nitrogen can form single, double, and triple bonds with carbon. The triple bond form is called cyanide.
Is a covalent bond a double bond?
A double bond is a covalent bond, but not all covalent bonds are double bonds; some bonds may be single or triple (or even in rare cases, quadruple) instead.
Does an organic compound have double or single covalent bonds?
Yes organic molecules can have single bonds, double bonds and triple bonds. Larger molecules, more than two carbons, always have single bonds and may have double and triple.
What covalent bonds is the strongest triple single double nonpolar single?
triple bond is the strongest.
What type of bond does diamond graphite and buckminsterfullerene have - Single Double or Triple?
Diamond and Graphite both have single covalent bonds whereas Buckminsterfullerene has double covalent bonds.
What do the dots in double and triple bonding in chemistry mean?
They represent the [single] double and triple covalent chemical bonds between atoms.
What do they have in common single double and triple covalent bond?
All covalent bonds contain one sigma bond.
What element has atoms that can form single double and triple covalent bonds with other atoms of carbon?
Nitrogen can form single, double, and triple bonds with carbon. The triple bond form is called cyanide.
Valence electrons in covalent bonds?
Covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons of the valence shell.

What do carbon bonds form?
Four covalent bonds. 4 single or 1 double and two single or one triple and one single
What is stronger a triple covalent bond or a single covalent bond?
