Yes, nitrogen can form a double bond with carbon. This occurs in compounds such as imines and nitriles, where nitrogen shares two pairs of electrons with carbon. The ability to form double bonds contributes to nitrogen's versatility in organic chemistry, allowing for various functional groups and reactions.

What element has atoms that can form single double and triple covalent bonds with other atoms of carbon?

Nitrogen can form single, double, and triple bonds with carbon. The triple bond form is called cyanide.


Which elements can form double or triple bonds?

Anything in groups 4 through 8 can form double bonds, and anything in groups 6-8 can form triple bonds. It takes one lone pair from each element involved in the bond to, for lack of a better term, "upgrade" the bond to double, and another lone pair from both elements to "upgrade" the bond to a triple bond.


What element will form a double bond with oxygen making a molecule with one atom of the element and one atom of oxygen?

Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen itself all have this property.


Is carbon and nitrogen a coordinate covalent bond?

No, carbon and nitrogen typically form a covalent bond in organic molecules. A coordinate covalent bond occurs when one atom donates both of the electrons involved in the bond.


What carbon atom forms a covalent bond with nitrogen?

Any carbon atom can form a covalent bond with nitrogen. In hydrogen cyanide, HCN, the carbon atom forms a triple covalent bond with the nitrogen atom. In amino acids, the carbon atom forms a single bond with a nitrogen atom.


What kinds of bonds can carbon atoms form?

A double carbon bond is a covalent bond. Also carbon atoms can form double bonds. Carbon shares electrons with other atoms.


What is the number of bonds hydrogen carbon oxygen and nitrogen can make?

Bond for HydrogenBonds for Oxygen (in peroxides: 1 bond)Bonds for Nitrogen (in nitrate: 5 bonds. Even 1, 2 and 4 are possible)Bonds for Carbon


What type of bonds does carbon form?

Carbon can form single, double, and triple covalent bonds with other carbon atoms or different atoms such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Carbon can also form coordinate covalent bonds with transition metals.


What bond does carbon combined with carbon form?

It could be a single bond (as in alkanes) or a double bond (as in alkenes) or even a triple bond (as in alkynes).


Does CH3NH2 have a resonance structure?

Yes, CH3NH2 can have a resonance structure. The lone pair on the nitrogen can delocalize to form a double bond with the carbon, resulting in resonance stabilization.


Do Alkenes have carbon-carbon double bonds?

Alkanes have a single bond, and Alkenes have a double bond. The general form for Alkenes is CnH(2n)


Why nitrogen atom does not contain double bond?

A nitrogen atom contains three valence electrons so a nitrogen molecule N2 will form a triple covalent bond.
