A carbon can form a maximum of four bonds.
there are four covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen in methane (CH4).
A carbon atom needs four electrons to have a full outer shell so I guess it can form a maximum of four bonds.
Carbon atoms do not gain electrons to form a covalent bond. Carbon atoms form four covalent bonds by sharing its four valence electrons with the valence electrons of other atoms. These can be single bonds, in which one pair of electrons is shared; double bonds, in which two pairs of electrons are shared; or triple bonds, in which three electrons are shared; or a combination of these.
Most of them are, though there are a few that are ionic such as sodium acetate and other organic acid salts. These include ionic bonds, but also contain covalent bonds within a polyatomic ion.
4 single bonds! or variations with double bonds!!
4. Carbon obeys the octet rule. In covalent conpounds it has 4 covalent bonds. It can also form ionic compounds (carbides).
maximum number of covalent bonds typically formed by fluorine is 1
Carbon can form 4 covalent bonds as in methane. A covalent bond is formed by sharing of 2 electrons. as in methane 4 electron from carbon forms abond with 4hydrogen atom which donates 4 electron to form 4 covalent bonds
3 covalent bonds can be formed by Nitrogen
Carbon can form four covalent bonds at most, such as in methane.
maximum of four (single) covalent bonds per carbon
A carbon atom needs 4 covalent bonds to complete its valence shell.
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds
4
The simplest alkane, methane (CH4), has 4 covalent bonds. So for the first carbon, start with 4 covalent bonds and then add 3 of each carbon after that.
Single, double, and triple covalent bonds
