What determines whether a carbon atom's covalent bonds to other atoms are in a tetrahedral configuration or a planar configuration?
the presence or absence of double bonds between the carbon atom and other atoms
Which particle in an atom's structure determines it's ability to form chemical bonds with other atoms?
Directly it is the electrons. Indirectly the number of protons in the nucleus which determines how many electrons there are in the neutral atom and is a major determinant of ionization energy, electron affinity etc. which influence the formation of the bonds.
What determines whether or not an atom will form bonds?
Two oxygen atoms combine to form a molecule by sharing electrons
Can an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons form chemical bonds with other atoms?
The atom that has 6 protons is carbon, and carbon forms lots of chemical bonds with other atoms.
What characteristic of any single atom determines the number of covalent bonds that it can form?
The number of electrons in the atoms outer shell.

What determines an atom behavior?
The largest determinant to an atom's behavior is its electron configuration. An atom's electron configuration determines its interactions with other atoms, such as which atoms it can form bonds with and whether that bond is covalent or ionic. Additionally, the number of neutrons and protons influence the stability of the atom's nucleus.
Why does carbon atom bonds to four other atoms?
It doesn't necessarily "bonds to four other atoms."

Which part of an atom determines how it will react with other atoms?
valence electrons
What characteristic of any single atom determines the number of covalent bonds that it can form?
The number of electrons in the atoms outer shell.
What determines the number of covalent bonds formed by an atom?
The number of unpaired electrons determines the number of covalent bonds that can be formed by an atom.
What is the shape of a carbon atom as is bonds to four other atoms?
tetrahedral
How many bonds can Carbon form with other atoms?
Each carbon atom can covalently bond with as many as four other other atoms. Answer is 4.
What determines an atoms number?
the number of protons determines the atom.
