Because Oxygen has 6 outer shell electrons. And it wants 8 to become full and stable. Therefore, it can have 2 single bonds. or 1 double.
Double bonds are shorter than single bonds, and also stronger than single bonds (though less than twice as strong).
There are four total covalent bonds in H2CO. There is a single double bond between the oxygen and the carbon and two single bonds between the carbon and hydrogen atoms.
No. The H2O molecule contains only single covalent bonds.
Nitrogen can form single, double, and triple bonds with carbon. The triple bond form is called cyanide.
true, oxygen double bonds with itself
Double bonds are shorter than single bonds, and also stronger than single bonds (though less than twice as strong).
It depends on the atoms it is reacting with. If carbon it is 4 eg CH4 is methane, if oxygen it is two eg CO2 is carbon dioxide. This is because carbon can form four bonds, and carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds are double bonds.
No. The bonds formed between two oxygen atoms in O2 are double covalent bond.
There are four total covalent bonds in H2CO. There is a single double bond between the oxygen and the carbon and two single bonds between the carbon and hydrogen atoms.
No. The H2O molecule contains only single covalent bonds.

Single, double, and triple carbon-carbon bonds; carbon-hydrogen bonds; carbon-halogen bonds; hydrogen-hydrogen bonds; nitrogen-nitrogen bonds; single and double carbon-oxygen bonds; silicon-oxygen bonds in silicone polymers.
covalent bonding
No. Benzene (C6H6) is a base for very many carbocyclic compounds. It contains six carbon atoms in a hexagon. The bonds between the carbon atoms are alternately single and double. The fourth is with the hydrogen. Acetylen (C2H2) jas a triple carbon-to-carbon bond.
No. The two carbon to oxygen bonds are both double bonds.
Single, double, and triple carbon-carbon bonds; carbon-hydrogen bonds; carbon-halogen bonds; hydrogen-hydrogen bonds; nitrogen-nitrogen bonds; single and double carbon-oxygen bonds; silicon-oxygen bonds; nitrogen-oxygen bonds; etc.
