4
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds
A maximum of four covalent bonds.
4
yes, it can form a maximum of 4 covalent bonds, as in methane. (CH4)
Maximum of four bonds. It can form four
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds
A maximum of four covalent bonds.
4
yes, it can form a maximum of 4 covalent bonds, as in methane. (CH4)
Maximum of four bonds. It can form four
3
Single, double, and triple covalent bonds
Four if you consider something like methane CH4. If carbon were to bond with another carbon atom it could form up to 3 bonds (an alkyne).
Nitrogen can form single, double, and triple covalent bonds.
They can each form four bonds.
because carbon has only four electrons in the valence shell
4. Carbon obeys the octet rule. In covalent conpounds it has 4 covalent bonds. It can also form ionic compounds (carbides).
