H2CO how many bonds?

There are four total covalent bonds in H2CO. There is a single double bond between the oxygen and the carbon and two single bonds between the carbon and hydrogen atoms.


How many bond can a single carbon make?

A single carbon can make four bonds but they may not all be single i.e it could make 4 single bonds (as in methane) or 2 double bonds (as in cardon dioxide) or one triple bond and a single bond (as in Ethyne).


What are held together by multiple covalent bonds?

Examples are oxygen, nitrogen , alkenes with carbon carbon double bonds, alkynes with carbon carbon triple bonds, the carbon oxygen double bonds in carbon dioxide


Carbon can react to how many atoms at one time?

It depends on the atoms it is reacting with. If carbon it is 4 eg CH4 is methane, if oxygen it is two eg CO2 is carbon dioxide. This is because carbon can form four bonds, and carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds are double bonds.


Can carbon only form single bonds?

No. Benzene (C6H6) is a base for very many carbocyclic compounds. It contains six carbon atoms in a hexagon. The bonds between the carbon atoms are alternately single and double. The fourth is with the hydrogen. Acetylen (C2H2) jas a triple carbon-to-carbon bond.


What are examples of covalent bonds besides water?

Single, double, and triple carbon-carbon bonds; carbon-hydrogen bonds; carbon-halogen bonds; hydrogen-hydrogen bonds; nitrogen-nitrogen bonds; single and double carbon-oxygen bonds; silicon-oxygen bonds in silicone polymers.
