When two carbon atoms are linked by a triple bond, one will be a sigma bond (formed by the 2px-px overlap of the two carbon atoms) whereas the other two will be pi bonds (formed by the 2py-py overlap and 2pz-pz overlap of the two carbon atoms).
Ethane has nonpolar covalent bonds. These bonds are formed between the carbon and hydrogen atoms in ethane, where the electrons are shared evenly between the atoms.
A carbon can form a maximum of four bonds.
Bonds between two (adjacent) C atoms.
Some bonds between atoms are broken and new bonds are formed.

Water (H2O) - formed by covalent bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Methane (CH4) - composed of covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms. Carbon dioxide (CO2) - consists of covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms.

In the combustion of ethene, the pi bonds between the carbon atoms in the double bond are broken first. This is followed by breaking the sigma bonds between the carbon and hydrogen atoms. Finally, the bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms in the formed carbon dioxide molecules are also broken.
No, carbon does not typically form metallic bonds. Metallic bonds are formed between metal atoms, where electrons are free to move throughout the structure. Carbon tends to form covalent bonds, where electrons are shared between atoms.
No, carbon can form both polar and nonpolar covalent bonds. The type of bond formed depends on the electronegativity of the atoms involved. If two carbon atoms are bonding, it is typically a nonpolar covalent bond.

Bonds between two (adjacent) C atoms.
A sigma bond will be formed between carbon and each hydrogen atom, resulting in four C-H sigma bonds. These are strong covalent bonds where the electrons are shared between the atoms.
Compounds formed by two nonmetals, such as carbon and sulfur, typically contain covalent bonds. These bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms. In the case of carbon and sulfur, the compound carbon disulfide (CS2) is an example of a binary compound with covalent bonds.
