Since a carbon atom has 4 electrons in its outer shell, it does not have the stable arrangement of 8, which it can gain by sharing electrons with other atoms.

The structure that results when carbon atoms bond to one another depends on the type of bond that is formed. If all of the bonds are single, the carbon atoms will all be tetrahedral. If some of the bonds are double, the carbon atoms with one double bond will be trigonal planar. If a triple bond forms, the atoms in that bond will have a linear structure. Carbon atoms with 2 double bonds will also be linear.
look at the numbermber of valance electrons in a given element then see if you could get it to combine with carbons valence electrons to add up to 8 theres too many compounds to count remember you can have as many atoms in a molicule as you want and carbon combines with itself to equil 8 electrons it has four valence electrons
A bond can't remove atoms. What you would want if you have hydrogen atoms, also known as protons (H+) floating around in your solution (which for the record is impossible, they'd be apart of a compound like HCl or H2O) you would need to add a base which will attract the molecules. I think the answer you are looking for is hydrogen bond which is a type of sigma bond but it is between hydrogen and an electronegative atom.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Some examples of atoms with isotopes are hydrogen (protium, deuterium, tritium), carbon (carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14), and uranium (uranium-235, uranium-238).

ionic? carbon needs 4 electrons to be stable and there are 4 hydrogens who each want to give one

Yes, but more is needed. According to the octect rule, atoms want to fill their outer most valence shell with the maximum amount of electrons. When this is applied to carbon, carbon wants to have 8 electrons in its outer most valence shell. As a neutral atoms, carbon has 4 electrons in its outer most valence shell. Hydrogen has only one electron, so it only has one elctron to give. This means carbon attacthed to one hydrogen atom has 5 electrons in its outer most valence shell. Carbon will still want to bond to more atoms in order to have 8 electrons in its more outer valence shell.

Carbon has four electrons in its outer shell. The most stable electron configuration for carbon (as for most elements) is to have eight electrons in the outer shell. So if carbon can form 4 bonds, it has 4 more electrons to share and will effectively have the stable arrangement of 8 electrons. If carbon forms fewer than 4 bonds, the result is not as stable as 4 bonds, but it is still more stable than having only 4 electrons in the outer shell.
The nucleus of an atom in a covalent bond wants to attract and share electrons with other atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons allows atoms to fill their outer electron shells and become more stable.
Carbon is a versatile element that can form long chains of molecules, giving rise to a wide variety of organic compounds. It can bond with other atoms like hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen to form complex structures found in living organisms. Carbon also plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle, moving between the atmosphere, oceans, plants, and animals.
CN- is a triple bond. This should be derived using formal charge and the amount of available valence electrons. The confusion comes from whether it is a double or triple bond. check on you tube for how to draw ions using formal charge. What you must remember is that elements in period 2 want to have a complete octet and the only stable configuration with a complete octet is using a triple bond.
By combining ability do you ability to bond with other atoms? If so, you want to examine the number of electrons in the atoms outermost shell. NA has 1 electron in its outermost shell so it needs 7 more to fulfill the octet rule. It would bond with an atom like Cl.
electrons are able to come relatively close to each other because, the electrons are transferred from one element to another and they bonds due to opposite charges. they involve metal bonding to non-metals stronger the bond types.
Hi there! The answer to this question is straight chain, branched chain, and ring. Straight chain= straight line of carbon atoms Branched chain= straight line with some carbons sticking out the sides Ring= Ring of carbon atoms Your Welcome, -8th grader
