How many bonds does carbon need to form to be a stable compound?
The strongest and most stable bonds involve carbon (C) to carbon bonds. C in sp, sp2, and sp3 hybridization, that is single, double and triple bonds, are the most stable.
The number of covalent bonds that a carbon atom can form with other atoms is what?
4 Carbon has 4 covalent bonds. Altogether Carbon has 6 electrons, 2 in the inner (1st) shell and 4 in the outer (2nd) shell. It takes 8 electrons in the outer shell to make elements stable (excluding Hydrogen and Helium) so Carbon needs 4 more electrons to make it stable - so it needs 4 more bonds, with each bond giving one more electron to be stable.
How many covalent bonds does CH4?
There are four bonds.All are covalent bonds.
How many single covalent bonds can a carbon atom form?
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds
How many covalent bonds are in an alkane?
The simplest alkane, methane (CH4), has 4 covalent bonds. So for the first carbon, start with 4 covalent bonds and then add 3 of each carbon after that.
How many covalent bonds can a carbon atom from to become stable?
4

What is the Correct number of covalent bonds formed by silicon?
silicon alwayus forms the 4 covalent bonds just like carbon. but its pi bonding is not stable due to larger atomic size....

How many covalent bonds does CH4?
There are four bonds.All are covalent bonds.
How many covalent bonds are formed by silicon?
The element silicon would be expected to form 4 covalent bond(s) in order to obey the octet rule. Si is a nonmetal in group 4A, and therefore has 4 valence electrons. In order to obey the octet rule, it needs to gain 4 electrons. It can do this by forming 4 single covalent bonds.
How many single covalent bonds can a carbon atom form?
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds
How many covalent bonds are in an alkane?
The simplest alkane, methane (CH4), has 4 covalent bonds. So for the first carbon, start with 4 covalent bonds and then add 3 of each carbon after that.
How many covalent bonds does carbon have?
Carbon can form four covalent bonds at most, such as in methane.
Why is carbon fundamental for organic compounds?
Carbon has the ability to make 4 strong covalent bonds with other elements or carbon atoms. Also it can make stable double, triple bonds with other atoms. Carbon can make long stable chains .
A single carbon atom can form a maximum of covalent bonds?
A maximum of four covalent bonds.
Does CO2 have a single covalent bond?
Carbon has 4 available bonds. Oxygen has 2. All bonds must be used up or the compound will not be stable. Each oxygen is joined to the carbon by a double covalent bond. CO2 has 2 double-covalent bonds (4 covalent bonds in total)
