Carbon is able To form four bonds what kinds of bonds are formed?
carbon can form four types of bond so it is called as tetravalent atom so in methane it is attached to four other hyderogen atom. As the electronic configuration of Carbon is (2,4) so it has tendency to accepts four or give four electrons . So carbon has 4 types of bond
