Carbon is in Group V. Thus, it needs 4 more electrons so as to achieve the octet structure in its valence shell. As such, carbon has make at most 4 single covalent bonds. The least number of covalent bonds carbon can make is 2 double bonds. We do not see an example of carbon forming 1 covalent bond involving the sharing of all 4 of its valence electrons.
Carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms to form single, low polarity single covalent bonds with each other.
Bonds between carbon and silicon are covalent.
Bonds between silicon and carbon are covalent.
C-C sigma bonds in acetone : 2 C-H bonds in water : 0 C-O bonds in water : 0 C-O sigma bonds in propanol : 1 C-C pi bonds in methanol : 0
6 C-H bonds 3 C-C bonds 3 C=C bonds (note: the carbon -carbon bonds are resonating and thus each C-C bond has bond order 1.5 )
7 bonds, 6 C-H bonds and 1 C-C bond.
There are four bonds. All are C-H bonds
None. The property of all alkanes is that they contain only C-H single bonds and C-C single bonds. If a compound contains double C to C bonds it is classified as an alkene not an alkane.

There are four bonds. All are C-H bonds
There would be 3 C-C single bonds in 2-methyl propane.
None. The property of all alkanes is that they contain only C-H single bonds and C-C single bonds. If a compound contains double C to C bonds it is classified as an alkene not an alkane.
Remember there are many forms of cumulene. In a cumulene that forms like this H2C=C=C=C=CH2 there are 7 sigma bonds and 3 pi. When there is a double bond ( = ) one is always a sigma bond the other is pi, single bonds are sigma.
They are made of triple bonds. (3)
As in all hydrocarbons the energy is stored in the covalent bonds that make the compound. The bonds between H-C and C-C The energy is released when these bonds break. The bonds are broken using a little incentive such as fire or a spark in the presence of oxygen.
polar covalent bonds (C=O, C-O, and O-H), 8
Carbon is quite a special element. It can form 2 double bonds, and is able to form long chains with itself, C-C bonds are also strong. This makes it ideal as the basis of living organisms.
None. pi bonds are double our triple bonds, or pi clouds above and below aromatic rings such as benezene. Single bonds are sigma bonds
