Carbon contains 6e, thus the valence e' should have 4 looking like this:
C--2e"---4e' Carbon needs 4covalent bonds to achieve stability.
Could have four hydrogens, which would fulfill the single covalent bonds, which would satisfy the Octet Rule (8electons in the valence shell)
....H..................
..../.................
H-C-H.............
..../.................
...H....................
for the double bonding (covalent bond) another Carbon: C=C, they are sharing all electrons to fulfill the 8 needed electrons...
For the triple covalent bond, you will need to have two elements that are willing to share their electrons to have 8e',
you can make ACETONE:
with two Hyrdogens and one more Carbon set it up like so:
H-C_=C-H
The triple bond is in the middle (C_=C) sorry, for the weird setup.. should be two single bonds between both Hydrogens and one, triple covalent bond between the Carbon atoms.

Which elements is stable neon carbon boron or fluorine?
Of those, neon is the most chemically stable (least reactive).But for elements, the term stable usually means non-radioactive, and all of these elements have stable isotopes.
What is the order of the four most abundant gases in the Earth's atmosphere from most abundant to least abundant?
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon & Carbon Dioxide.
What is the most abundant element in the earth?
The most abundant element on earth is Oxygen. But due to its high reactivity, most oxygen occurs in combined state, generally in oxides.
Does fire need carbon dioxide to burn?
No. Fire need fuel, oxygen, and heat to burn. Carbon dioxide is a product of most fires and can actually be used to put fires out.
What are three elements that are most often found in organic compounds?
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are the three main elements of organic compounds.
what combination of carbon and oxygen atoms is stable?
The most stable combination of carbon and oxygen atoms is carbon dioxide (CO2). Each carbon atom forms a double bond with two oxygen atoms, resulting in a stable molecule with a linear geometry.
What element do most of the polyatomic ions have in the formula?
Examples: oxygen, sulfur, carbon, phosphorus etc.
Which two atoms are most common in the human body?
By atoms: hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon By mass: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen
Is this a stable element Carbon atomic number 6?
Yes, carbon (atomic number 6) is a stable element with both stable and unstable isotopes. The most common stable isotope of carbon is carbon-12, which makes up about 98.9% of naturally occurring carbon.
What is the most inert form of carbon?
Graphite is the most thermodynamically stable (more than diamond).
Which isotope is most stable?
Carbon 12 and Carbon 13 are stable. All other isotopes of carbon are unstable and radioactive
How many bonds does carbon need to form to be a stable compound?
The strongest and most stable bonds involve carbon (C) to carbon bonds. C in sp, sp2, and sp3 hybridization, that is single, double and triple bonds, are the most stable.
What is the most stable resonance structure for the CNO ion with nitrogen as the central atom?
The most stable resonance structure for the CNO ion with nitrogen as the central atom is one where the negative charge is on the oxygen atom, and the double bond is between the carbon and nitrogen atoms.
Which is the most stable out of lithum carbon fluorine and neon?
Neon is the most stable out of lithium, carbon, fluorine, and neon. It is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it very unreactive and stable. Lithium, carbon, and fluorine are not as stable as neon because they are more likely to form chemical bonds to achieve a full outer electron shell.
Put the gases in order from least to most dense Oxygen carbon dioxide helium?
Helium, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide (least to most dense)
Which one is most likely to form an ionic bond carbon oxygen sodium or hydrogen?
Sodium is most likely to form an ionic bond because it readily loses an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen are more likely to form covalent bonds by sharing electrons to achieve stability.
How does blowing oxygen into molten cast iron remove most of the carbon?
Oxygen react with carbon, carbon dioxide is formed and this compound is released as a gas.
