carbon can bond with 4 different atoms.
carbon can bond with 4 different atoms.
Atoms of elements have a fixed number of electrons that can bond with other atoms. Carbon has 4 electrons that can bond with other atoms. So 4 hydrogen atoms can bond with one carbon atom.
It has four valence electrons.So it can join to four atoms with single bonds.
For a hydrocarbon with only carbon-carbon single bonds and n carbon atoms, the number of hydrogen atoms can be calculated using the formula 2n + 2. This is because each carbon atom forms 4 single bonds (including 3 with other carbons and 1 with hydrogen), and the total number of hydrogen atoms is equal to 2n + 2.
all carbon atoms have 4 valence electrons. 4 hydrogen atoms can bond to a single carbon. That would be methane.
A single covalent bond is two electrons. It's also known as a "shared pair" of electrons.
Carbon can have maximum of 4 single bonds around it, thus 4 hydrogen atoms.

The most common form is the single bond, carbon atoms can also form double bonds or triple bonds.
Eight.
Carbon can bond with itself, and many other elements.
minimum two atoms are for single covalent bond
