it can make covalent bonds!
The carbon-carbon bonds are covalent.
double covalent bonds
Carbon is an element, not a bond. Carbon bonds covalently.
The bonds in chloroform (CHCl3) include carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, carbon-chlorine (C-Cl) bonds, and carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds. These bonds help to hold the atoms together in the molecule.
Carbon typically forms covalent bonds. It is rare for it to form ionic bonds.
c-
Carbon and oxygen can form multiple types of bonds, including covalent bonds (in molecules like carbon dioxide), polar covalent bonds (in molecules like carbon monoxide), and ionic bonds (in compounds like carbonates). These bonds are dependent on the arrangement of electrons and the electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen.
Covalent single (max. 4x) or double (max. 2x) bonds
4 per carbon is the maximum in most circumstances
Carbon can make 4 bonds with hydrogen. Nitrogen can make 3 bonds with hydrogen. Oxygen can make 2 bonds with hydrogen.
saturated fats
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 .
