Gasoline is not a single compound but rather a mixture of hydrocarbons, which are covalent compounds with nonmetal elements such as carbon and hydrogen bonded together. Therefore, gasoline can be considered a covalent mixture.
Elements such as hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I) can form diatomic molecules joined by single covalent bonds. For example, H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, and I2.
All non-metals in group IV will be able to form 4 covalent bonds with other elements. They need 4 more electrons to form the octet structure in their valence shell. Hence, they can form 4 single covalent bonds to constitute the covalent structure. On the other hand, elements in group III, such as boron, can also make 1 double bond and 3 single bonds to share 5 electrons to achieve octet structure.
A carbon atom can form a maximum of four single covalent bonds with other elements. Carbon has four valence electrons that it can share with other atoms to complete its octet and achieve a stable configuration.
Elements in group 15 (nitrogen family) form three single covalent bonds. This is because they have five valence electrons and need three more electrons to fill their outer shell to achieve octet stability.
Carbon monoxide is a single covalent compound.It contains 2 elements: carbon and oxygen.

The number of electrons in the outer shell.
Elements in group 17 need one electron to gain a stable electron configuration. Two atoms of the same element or two elements in this family forms compounds with a single covalent bond. Examples are chlorine, bromine or iodine chloride.
Each atom contribute with one electron to the bond.

Alkali metals are the elements in the first column of the periodic table, also known as Group 1. This group includes elements such as lithium, sodium, and potassium. Alkali metals are highly reactive and exhibit similar chemical properties due to their single outer electron configuration.
The group 1 elements, which are the alkali metals.
A carbon atom can form a maximum of four single covalent bonds with other elements. Carbon has four valence electrons that it can share with other atoms to complete its octet and achieve a stable configuration.
