Want this question answered?
The number of unpaired electrons determines the number of covalent bonds that can be formed by an atom.
The number of unpaired electrons in the outermost shell determines the number os covalent bonds an atom can form.
An atom can make a number of covalent bonds equal to the number of electrons it needs to fill its outer shell
3 covalent bonds (as in ammonia).
It depends on the number of valence electrons.

It depends on the number of valence electrons.
The number of unpaired electrons in valence shell or numbers of electrons less then 8 in outermost shell of an atom give information about covalent bonds my be formed by an atom.
-8
Four
Water has covalent bonds.The bonds between atoms in a water molecule are covalent bond, somewhat polar ones.
Covalent bonds between a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom.
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds
