No, oxygen typically forms 2 bonds. Oxygen is in group 16 of the Periodic Table, so it has 6 valence electrons and can gain 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. This makes it unlikely for oxygen to form 4 bonds.

What factor dertemines that an oxygen atom can form two covalent bonds while a carbon atom can form four?

The number of valence electrons in the outer shell determines the number of covalent bonds an atom can form. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, allowing it to form 2 covalent bonds, while carbon has 4 valence electrons, allowing it to form 4 covalent bonds.


What is the maximum number of bonds for hydrogen carbon and oxygen?

It depends on the bonding. Are the elements bonded to each other? or is the question simply as the maximum number of bonds for each element separately? Carbon has 4 bonds, hydrogen has 1 bond, oxygen has 2 bonds.

What makes oxygen and carbon bond?

Oxygen and carbon are both nonmetals that have a strong preference for creating covalent bonds (bonds where electrons are shared between the atoms). They are also both relatively abundant, so they tend to be present with each other and bond through covalent bonds.
