Can't tell you, because they really DO exist: in methane (CH4) and other alkanes all C atoms have four covalent bonds with H and/or other C atoms.

What is a typical property of a substance formed with covalent bonds?

The covalent compounds do not exist as ions but they exist as moleculesThey exist at room temperature, as liquids or gases. However, a few compounds also exist in the solid state e.g. urea, sugar, etc.The melting and boiling points of covalent compounds are generally lowCovalent compounds are generally insoluble or less soluble in water and in other polar solventsThese are poor conductors of electricity in the fused or dissolved stateSince the covalent bond is localized in between the nuclei of atoms, it is directional in natureA covalent bond can be formed in different ways. When a bond is formed by mutual sharing of one pair of electrons it is known as a 'single covalent bond', or simply 'a single bond'. When a bond is developed due to mutual sharing of more than one pairs of electrons it is termed as 'multiple covalent bond'. Such bonds can be a double covalent bond or a triple covalent bond.

Yes. It is covalent


Why carbon can not form fourth covalent bond?

With itself. Molecular bonding theory and the bond order show a sigma pi discrepancy ( bonding/anti-bonding ) that disallows this tetra-covalent carbon to carbon interaction. Google this for a fuller explanation.


What type of bond is OF?

The bond between O and F would be a covalent bond (dative/coordinate), if in fact OF existed. More likely it would exist as OF2 (still covalent bonds).


What chemical bond that occurs when atoms share electrons?

covalent bond,coordinate bond and singlet bond


Can a quadruple covalent bond exist?

No, a quadruple covalent bond does not exist in nature. The maximum number of bonds two atoms can share is typically four (a double bond and a triple bond), as seen in carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen gas (N2).


What is the difference between an ionic bond covalent bond and a hydrogen bond?

The ionic bond bond is based on electrostatic attraction between ions.The covalent bond is based on electrons sharing between two atoms.The hydrogen bond exist between two polar groups and is a weak bond.
