A single covalent bond is two electrons. It's also known as a "shared pair" of electrons.
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds
maximum of four (single) covalent bonds per carbon
single covalent bond between each carbon.
Covalent bond
A maximum of four covalent bonds.
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds

Carbon monoxide is a single covalent compound.It contains 2 elements: carbon and oxygen.
Alkanes have ordinary covalent single carbon-carbon bonds and carbon-hydrogen bonds. Alkenes have double carbon-carbon bonds.
maximum of four (single) covalent bonds per carbon
4
single covalent bond between each carbon.
Covalent bond
A maximum of four covalent bonds.
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.
because carbon has only four electrons in the valence shell
Four
