Some molecules don't work without multiple bonds. They either aren't chemically or physically possible, or they would be a different molecule.

Carbon is important to life because it is capable of forming many?
Carbon is important to life because it can form complex molecules. This is because because of its ability to form many bonds. Carbon typically has four single bonds, two double bonds, one triple and one single bond, or one double and two single bonds. Due to this extensive boding, carbon can form large molecules that are necessary for the existence of living things.
What do the dots in double and triple bonding in chemistry mean?
They represent the [single] double and triple covalent chemical bonds between atoms.
What are the double and triple bonded hydrocarbons called?
double bonded hydrocarbons are called "alkenes" and triple bonded hydrocarbons are called "alkynes"
The sharing of electrons is referred to as?
Sharing two pairs makes a double bond. Sharing three pairs makes a triple bond.
Does CO2 contain triple bond?
No, it has a triple covalent bond between the Carbon and the Oxygen This is a strange exception in chemistry because normally an Oxygen atom can only have 2 covalent bonds max, the Carbon retains a free valence electron (I think)
Does an organic compound have double or single covalent bonds?
Yes organic molecules can have single bonds, double bonds and triple bonds. Larger molecules, more than two carbons, always have single bonds and may have double and triple.
What bonds restrict rotation about the axis of double or triple bonds?
Double and triple bonds restrict the rotation around the axis of the bond, resulting in more rigid molecules. These are typically known as Pi bonds.
What is a triple double?
Ehat is a double triple
What's a triple double in basketball?
It's not a double-triple, it's a triple-double. 10 in three stats-points, assists, rebounds etc.
What are the bond combinations for carbon in neutral molecules?
four single bonds two double bonds two single bonds and one double bond one triple bond and one single bond

How many types of covalent bonds are there?
There are 3 types of intermolecular forces :van der waal`s forces-force of attraction btwn molecules of the same kind e.g btwn hydrogen moleculesLONDON/DISPERSION FORCESHYDROGEN BONDING FORCES
Why can Florine form double or triple bonds?
Fluorine does not form double or triple bonds.
What bond is strongest single double or triple?
A triple bond is the strongest, followed by a double, and then a single.
Single double triple what is 10?
double
Can carbon molecules rotate in a carbon-carbon bond?
Yes, if it is a single (sigma bond). A double or triple (pi) bond cannot be rotated without breaking the bond.
Can carbon molecules rotate in a carbon carbon bond?
Yes, if it is a single (sigma bond). A double or triple (pi) bond cannot be rotated without breaking the bond.
