Carbon can form complex molecules because of its ability to form many bonds. Carbon in a neutral species has four single bonds, two double bonds, one triple and one single bond, or one double and two single bonds. Due to this extensive boding, carbon can form large molecules and even chains tens of thousands of atoms long (polymers).
It can form four bonds. It is small and can form long chains
Oxygen can form two bonds. It typically forms double bonds with other elements.
A carbon atom needs four electrons to have a full outer shell so I guess it can form a maximum of four bonds.
Carbon may have 4 bonds :)
Oxygen can form up to two bonds in a chemical compound.
A carbon atom can form up to 4 covalent bonds with neighboring atoms. This allows carbon to form diverse structures and compounds, making it a key element in organic chemistry.
This question is misguided. A compound does not form bonds. It may undergo a chemical reaction and parts of it will form new bonds with other things. Perhaps you mean how many bonds are there in the compound already? There is one between the hydrogen and the carbon, and three between the carbon and the nitrogen, so that's a total of four.

Hydrogen typically forms one bond in a chemical compound.

The element "s" typically forms two bonds in a chemical compound.
Water is a polar compound that can form hydrogen bonds. The oxygen atom in water has a slight negative charge while the hydrogen atoms have a slight positive charge, allowing water molecules to attract each other and form hydrogen bonds.
mostly double bonds and triple bonds
4 single bonds! or variations with double bonds!!
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.
