Two, typically both bonding atoms share one electron each to form a single covalent bond.
these two topics are irrelevant
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.
Si has four valence electrons so silicon need to make four covalent bond.
Through covalent bonding, the nitrogen atom will have 8 valence electrons, the hydrogen atoms will each have 2 valence electrons, and the chlorine atom will have 8 valence electrons.
Carbon can bond with itself, and many other elements.
The simple answer is a Covalent bond. Polar covalent bonds have an unequal sharing. Pi bonds, which also involve can lead to a delocalisation of the electron pair. Multicentre bonds such as the so-called banana bond in diboarne has a pair shared across a B-H-B bridge.
It depends on the number of valence electrons.
Three
Carbon can form 4 covalent bonds as it has 4 valence electrons.

the group in which an element falls = # of valence electrons eg Na gp 1 = 1 valence e Ca, gp 2 = 2 valence e and so on....... the number of covalent bond an element makes really depends on which other element it bonds with but note this a covalent bond consist of 2 electrons so how many covalent bonds formed will depend on how many electrons an atom has in its valence shell - covalent bond are mostly between non metals and involves electron sharing carbon forms the longest chain of covalent bonds with itself...
In a reaction u need two valence electrons to gain or share two valence electrons.
not 8
Carbon has for valence electrons for forming covalent bonds.
The number of unpaired electrons in valence shell or numbers of electrons less then 8 in outermost shell of an atom give information about covalent bonds my be formed by an atom.
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
2 Because it has six valence electrons, it follows the formula below predicted number of bonds = 8 - number of valence electrons So, 8 - 6 = 2
