Is carbon a metallic bond?

No, carbon does not typically form metallic bonds. Metallic bonds are formed between metal atoms, where electrons are free to move throughout the structure. Carbon tends to form covalent bonds, where electrons are shared between atoms.

How are metals bonded with other elements?

Typically metals form ionic bonds with non- metals. There are exceptions when the metal ion is small and highly charged when the bond may have more covalent character, (Fajans rules) Metals also form covalent bonds with carbon in organometals such as grignard reagents. Transition metals form covalent bonds with many species, e.g. carbon monoxide in the carbonyls. In alloys which are mixtures of metallic elements the bonding is the metallic bond.


What type of bonds does carbon form?

Carbon can form single, double, and triple covalent bonds with other carbon atoms or different atoms such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Carbon can also form coordinate covalent bonds with transition metals.


A single carbon atom can form a maximum of how many covalent bonds?

A single carbon atom can form a maximum of four covalent bonds. This is because carbon has four valence electrons available for bonding.
