Si has four valence electrons so silicon need to make four covalent bond.
Primary level.-Primary level - covalent bonds (peptide)Secondary level - hydrogen bondsTertiary level - hydrogen bonds, ionic bridges, hydrophobic linkagesQuaternary level - H-bonds b/w certain polar side chains, ionic bonds b/w oppositely charged side chains, and van der waals forces b/w non-polar R (rest) groups.
4 extra electrons must be shared forming 4 covalent bonds or alternatively 4 more electrons are required to form the C4- ion.
Covalent bonds form between non-metals. In a covalent bond, all atoms involved share valence electrons so they can complete their valence level by fulfilling the octet/duet rule.
The element that has the highest second ionization energy is Li. When you remove the first electron from Li you are down to the 1s orbital. They are harder to remove because they are closest to the nucleus.
An oxygen atom is located in the 16th period of the periodic table so its outermost level of electrons(level 2) contains 6 electrons which is two less then eight. So, in order for oxygen to fill its outermost level it needs to gain two electrons, or in this case, form a covalent bond with another oxygen atoms this is why an oxygen atom has a subscript of 2.
A Covalent bond, because it takes too much energy to gain/lose more than two electrons, thus leaving the option of sharing electrons forming a covalent bond.
it can react with up to four other atoms to form covalent bonds(:

I don't know, will you answer this question, please, i need to know, the truth about this because i need it! Your Answer:
4 extra electrons must be shared forming 4 covalent bonds or alternatively 4 more electrons are required to form the C4- ion.
eight
A single covalent bonds involves the sharing of two electrons.
A carbon atom has four electrons in it's outermost energy level. Most atoms become stable when their outermost energy level contains eight electrons. A carbon atom therefore readily forms four covalent bonds with the atoms of other elements.
a covalent bond should be present between substances when the difference in their electronegativities is less than around 1.7. however this is a rough guide, as there is no real distinction between covalent and ionic bonds, there are really just increasingly polar covalent bonds. or for a more gcse-level answer, you can expect that covalent bonds should be formed when non-metals react with other non-metals.
The most common bonds are ionic and covalent.
it relates to covalent bond and how you have to alter the PH of the material to get it to the appropriate level for the bonds to form.
