Carbon is in Group V. Thus, it needs 4 more electrons so as to achieve the octet structure in its valence shell. As such, carbon has make at most 4 single covalent bonds. The least number of covalent bonds carbon can make is 2 double bonds. We do not see an example of carbon forming 1 covalent bond involving the sharing of all 4 of its valence electrons.
