The most common number is one, chlorine achieves the octet, as in the HCl molecule. However there are chlorine oxides and chlorine fluoride compounds where more than one covalent bond id formed. One example is chlorine trioxide with 6, another is chorine pentafluoride with 5.
Phosphorus typically forms three covalent bonds.
4 bonds. each between the carbon and the individual chloride. Now do ur homework by urself instead of getting others to do it.
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds
The number of covalent bonds depends on the compound it makes. Xenon can make maximum of six covalent bond (as in XeF6) and minimum of 2 as in (XeF2).
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.

Magnesium typically forms two covalent bonds. In its common oxidation state of +2, it tends to lose two electrons rather than forming covalent bonds. However, in some compounds, such as magnesium chloride (MgCl₂), it can participate in covalent bonding with nonmetals, but these are usually ionic in nature. Thus, while magnesium can engage in covalent interactions, it primarily forms ionic bonds.
Phosphorus typically forms three covalent bonds.
It has four covalent bonds.They are polar bonds
maximum of five single covalent bonds as in PCl5
4 bonds. each between the carbon and the individual chloride. Now do ur homework by urself instead of getting others to do it.
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds
It makes two covalent bonds which completes its octet.
The number of covalent bonds depends on the compound it makes. Xenon can make maximum of six covalent bond (as in XeF6) and minimum of 2 as in (XeF2).
Nitrogen tetroxide has four double covalent bonds.
A haloalkane has the same number of covalent bonds as the corrresponding unhalogenated alkane.
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.
