How many chemical bonds are formed by carbon?
Each carbon atom most often forms four chemical bonds, but in some instances the number of bonds can be as low as two because of the occurrence of "double" or "triple" bonds, which are bonds formed by four or six electrons respectively.
Why carbon form millions and billions of compound?
Carbon forms so many compounds because each carbon atom is able to form stable chemical bonds with up to four other atoms.
Why does the second carbon atom in propene only have one hydrogen-carbon bond?
The second carbon in propene only has one attached hydrogen atom because it already has three other bonds, and carbon generally forms four bonds in total. There are two carbon-carbon sigma bonds, and one carbon-carbon pi bond. Thus, the second carbon can only bond to one hydrogen atom.
Which property of a carbon atom explains why it bonds to four hydrogen atoms in methane (CH4) rather than to three five or some other number of hydrogen atoms?
Carbon is a tetravalent chemical element.
What is the arrangement of chemical bonds in carbon dioxicide CO2?
The CO2 molecule is linear. The central carbon atom forms a double bond with each oxygen atom. For an illustration, go to the related link below.
Can an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons form chemical bonds with other atoms?
The atom that has 6 protons is carbon, and carbon forms lots of chemical bonds with other atoms.
What atom hold chemical bonds together?
Carbon
Why can a carbon atom bond with itself so easily?
Carbon can form four chemical bonds.
What determines whether a carbon atom's covalent bonds to other atoms are in a tetrahedral configuration or a planar configuration?
the presence or absence of double bonds between the carbon atom and other atoms
Why does carbon atom bonds to four other atoms?
It doesn't necessarily "bonds to four other atoms."
How many chemical bonds are formed by carbon?
Each carbon atom most often forms four chemical bonds, but in some instances the number of bonds can be as low as two because of the occurrence of "double" or "triple" bonds, which are bonds formed by four or six electrons respectively.
Why carbon form millions and billions of compound?
Carbon forms so many compounds because each carbon atom is able to form stable chemical bonds with up to four other atoms.
What is the maximum number of single covalent bonds a carbon atom can form with other elements?
Four if you consider something like methane CH4. If carbon were to bond with another carbon atom it could form up to 3 bonds (an alkyne).
What is the shape of a carbon atom as is bonds to four other atoms?
tetrahedral
How many bonding can one alone carbon atom do?
Each carbon atom can make 4 bonds to other atoms, even when 'alone' as in methane (CH4, 4 single bonds) or carbon dioxide (CO2, 2 double bonds).
How many bonds can Carbon form with other atoms?
Each carbon atom can covalently bond with as many as four other other atoms. Answer is 4.
Why a carbon atom cannot make 4 bonds with another carbon atom?
Its all because of the electron dencity around the nucleus.when a carbon atom makes 3 bonds with another carbon atom there exists 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds,but it needs very high energy to have 1 sigma bond and 3 pi bonds that's why a carbon atom cannot make 4 bonds with another carbon atom.
