A carbon atom can form up to four single bonds with other atoms. This is due to carbon's ability to form four covalent bonds by sharing its four valence electrons.
Carbon can only make a triple bond with 1 atom.
Carbon may have 4 bonds :)

This is easy to figure out, and it doesn't even matter what isomer of pentane we're talking about: There are five carbons. Each carbon can form four single bonds. Therefore, there must be a total of 5x4 = 20 single bonds, no matter how we arrange the carbon skeleton. Some of those (specifically, four) will be carbon-carbon bonds, and the remainder (sixteen) will be carbon-hydrogen bonds.

A carbon-carbon triple bond is stronger than a carbon-carbon double bond, which is stronger than a carbon-carbon single bond. This is due to the increased number of bonding interactions (sigma and pi bonds) in triple and double bonds compared to single bonds.

No. Benzene (C6H6) is a base for very many carbocyclic compounds. It contains six carbon atoms in a hexagon. The bonds between the carbon atoms are alternately single and double. The fourth is with the hydrogen. Acetylen (C2H2) jas a triple carbon-to-carbon bond.
Four
Carbon-nitrogen and carbon-oxygen single bonds have lone pairs of electrons that can participate in forming coordinate covalent bonds with hydrogen atoms, while carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon single bonds lack available lone pairs to participate in such bonding. Therefore, compounds containing carbon-nitrogen and carbon-oxygen single bonds can form coordinate covalent bonds with hydrogen, but compounds with only carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon single bonds typically cannot.
Glucose has single bonds between its carbon atoms.
