What determines the number of covelant bonds that an atom can form?

Answer 1

How many bonds can atom form? not have ok

so its answer is atoms are polygomus..they can make as many bonds as they desire . By its valence number. Remember the octet rule, atoms form bonds in order to have eight electrons in their outer shell (with the exception of hydrogen and helium.) Atoms can form multiple covalent bonds if they need more than one electron to complete their valence shells. Oxygen, for example, bonds with itself to form 2 bonds between the atoms (since each atom needs to share 2 electrons).

i have given three answers so ithink you can now better understand

Answer 2

an atom can form as many bonds as there are...

Answer 3

This is maximised by the number of valence electrons.

Answer 4

The number of unpaired electrons in outer most shell.

Answer 5

The number of electrons present in its outermost shell. ( Valency)

Answer 6

4 c;
