Carbon can form complex molecules because of its ability to form many bonds. Carbon in a neutral species has four single bonds, two double bonds, one triple and one single bond, or one double and two single bonds. Due to this extensive boding, carbon can form large molecules and even chains tens of thousands of atoms long (polymers).

How many bonds can a single carbon have?
Carbon may have 4 bonds :)
How many of these bonds can be formed by a single carbon atoms hydrocarbons?
A carbon can form a maximum of four bonds.
How many bonds are between carbon and oxygen in carbon dioxide?
Well, i think that there are 5 bonds.
Carbon forms bonds with a maximum of how many other atoms?
Carbon can only form bonds with a maximum of 4 other molecules. Carbon can only form bonds with a maximum of 4 other molecules.
A carbon atom in an alkane has a total of how many bonds?
Carbons always have four bonds in four distinct electron densities shaped like a tetrahedron in a saturated alkane.
How many covalent bonds does carbon almost always form in compound?
mostly double bonds and triple bonds
What bonds does carbon atoms tend to form?
Carbon will almost always form bonds with other carbon atoms, and that is part of what makes it such a useful element.
How many bonds can a single carbon have?
Carbon may have 4 bonds :)
How many bonds does carbon make with oxygen in carbon dioxide?
Carbon makes four bonds with oxygen in carbon dioxide.
How many of these bonds can be formed by a single carbon atoms hydrocarbons?
A carbon can form a maximum of four bonds.
Carbon atoms tend to form what bonds?
Carbons almost always form covalent bonds.
How many bonds can a carbon molecule form with another carbon?
Molecule to another carbon- none! Carbon carbon bonds can be single double or triple
How many double bonds in a carbon molecule?
There are two double bonds in a carbon dioxide molecule.
How many bonds are between carbon and oxygen in carbon dioxide?
Well, i think that there are 5 bonds.
Carbon can react to how many atoms at one time?
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.
How many ionic bonds does carbon form in its compounds?
Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.
How many double bonds are in a carbon dioxide molecule?
There are two double bonds in a carbon dioxide molecule.
