Carbon generally form four covalent bonds.So this leaves two covalent bonds for oxygen, exactly enough for the stable oxygen bonding with one double bond.

'-' is single, '=' is double:

C(-H)(-Cl)(=O) which is named 'chloromethanal'

Do carbon react with chlorine to form an ionic compound?

When carbon reacts with chlorine, the result is a covalent compound, specifically, carbon tetrachloride. And of course, all sorts of organic compounds can be chlorinated by partial or complete replacement of hydrogen atoms by chlorine. But the compound will never be ionic.


Is CCl4 an ionic or covalent?

CCl4 is a covalent compound. CCl4 is a covalent compound because it consists of carbon and chlorine atoms, which have a difference in electronegativity. Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.55, while chlorine has an electronegativity of 0.66. This difference in electronegativity leads to the sharing of electrons between the carbon and chlorine atoms, resulting in a covalent bond. In CCl4, each carbon atom is bonded to four chlorine atoms by covalent bonds, and each chlorine atom is bonded to one carbon atom by a covalent bond.


Is the chemical compound CH a covalent bond?

A hydrogen atoms binds to a carbon atom by sharing an electron pair... a covalent bond. Covalent bonds are formed by non-metals, like hydrogen and carbon; ionic bonds are formed by metals and non-metals, like NaCl.


What bond does chloroform have?
