What number of bonds that carbon can form?
4
Classify the following bonds as ionic covalent or neither O atomic number 8 F atomic number 9 Na atomic number 11 Cl atomic number 17 U atomic number 92?
You haven't stated any bonds, you have just given a list of elements. Those elements can form various compounds, some having ionic bonds and some having covalent bonds. Uranium can also form metallic bonds.
How many bonds can each carbon form?
4Carbon has an atomic number of 6 which simply means that 6 electrons are distributed as follows: two electrons in the first shell and four in the second shell. Due to the fact that the second shell has the capacity to accommodate for eight electrons, therefore carbon needs another four electrons to be fully satisfied. Consequently carbon has the ability to make four bonds in the form of single, double and triple bonds according to the structure of the chemical compound and the type of reaction it is involved in.
If sulfur has an atomic number of 16 how many covalent bonds does it form?
2
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 maximum number of double bonds the carbon atom can form?
Carbon forms a maxiumum of four bonds, which can be in the form of two double bonds.
What number of bonds that carbon can form?
4
Is Carbon atomic number 6 stable?
The atomic number of Carbon is fairly stable due to the fact that it has four valency electrons in it's outermost shell which enable it to form covalent bonds with many elements, this characteristic enables it to form single, double and triple bonds with other atoms of elements. This is commonly represented in Hydrocarbons such as the alkenes, alkanes and the carboxylic acids.
An element with an atomic number of 10 would be able to form how many bonds?
0. it can not form any bonds

What does the number 4 have to do with how carbon forms compounds?
Carbon can form four covalent bonds

If the atomic number of carbon is 6therefore the number of protons in a carbon atom equals what?
If the atomic number is 6 then the number of protons is also 6. The atomic number is defined as the number of protons. In non-ionic form it is also the number of electrons.
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).
Does carbon usually form ionic bonds?
carbon does not form ionic bond ,they form covalent bonds
If sulfur has atomic number of 16. how many covalent bonds can sulfur form?
