How many hydrogens would be required to complete a molecule that contained a carbon and a nitrogen with a C-N single covalent bond between them?
Carbon = 4 valance electronsNitrogen = 5 valance electrons4 + 5 = 9 and 2 valance electrons used for the single bond, 9 - 2 = 73 hydrogens can attach to the carbon and 4 hydrogens can attach to the nitrogen, so.......7 hydrogen atoms would complete this molecule===================================
Is H and H covalent?
When two hydrogens bond, they share their electrons. This makes it covalent. I think this is what you were asking.
Is CH4 ionic or molecular?
As carbon and hydrogen are both nonmetals, it is covalent.
Is ammonium a ionic?
ammonium compounds are ionic compounds but with in ammonium ion three hydrogens form covalent bonds while 4th forms coordinate covalent bond.
How many covalent bonds does a carbon need to complete its covalent shell?
A carbon atom needs 4 covalent bonds to complete its valence shell.

What is the correct Lewis formula for CH2S?
H HCSH H three hydrogens and the sulfur are attached to the carbon, the additional hydrogen is attached to the sulfur. and the sulfur has two lone pairs (all single bonds)
What kind of bond is gasoline covalent or ionic?
C8H18--------------Octane, the majority of gasoline.This is eight carbons covalently bonded to the eighteen hydrogens.
Is C6H12O6 an ionic or covalent bond?
Glucose is formed using Covalent Bonding. This is proven because none of the elements that form Glucose are metals (Carbon is a Gas, Hydrogen is a Gas and Oxygen is a Gas). Ionic Bonding is the transfer of elections from METAL to NON-METAL. If you are drawing a diagram of the Glucose (to show how many electrons are shared with each element), simply draw a ring of the Carbons. Then, draw 1 Hydrogen connected to the Carbons, by themselves. Finally, draw an Oxygen connected to each of the Carbons, with a further Hydrogen connected to each of the Oxygens. Now, with Glucose, you have 12 Hydrogens that all need another Electron to complete it's outmost shell. Hydrogen, only having 1 proton (therefore having 1 electron), needs just one because the stable form of electrons is always 2,8,8. Hydrogen is also in Group 1, so it only has 1 shell. The 6 Hydrogens connected directly to the Carbons will share it's only electron with the Carbon. The Carbon, in turn, will share 1 electron back, leaving the Carbon with 3 electrons that it can share and it will also need 3 more electrons to complete it's outer shell. The 6 Hydrogens connected to the Oxygens will also share it's only electron with the Oxygen. The Oxygen will also share 1 electron with the Hydrogen. At this stage, the Hydrogens will all have a complete outer shell. Now, the Oxygen needs 1 electron to complete it's outer shell and the Carbon needs 3 to complete it's outer shell. So, simply share 3 electrons from each Oxygen with the Carbon and allow the Carbon to share a single electron. You will find that every atom has a full outer shell. It does get a bit confusing, I know. But you've just got to remember that Ionic Bonding is the TRANSFER of Electrons from METAL to NON-METAL. If a Metal is not present, it is not Ionic Bonding.
What do atoms form when they are connected by covalent bonds?
Molecules
What do atoms that are connected by covalent bonds share?
Electrons
Describe a covalent bond?
Forms when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. Water is the most popular covalent bond. Oxygen shares two of hydrogens electrons. H(subscript)2O
