carbon atoms are tetrahedrally bonded with one another. The crystal structure of a diamond is a face-centered cubic or FCC lattice.

What type of bond is present in carbon monoxide?
One carbon atom and one oxygen atom are connected by a triple bond that consists of two covalent bonds and one dative covalent bond.
What is the molecular form of acetylene gas?
The molecular formula of acetylene gas is C2H2. The shape of the molecule is linear, with the two carbon atoms joined by a triple bond and each carbon atom also bonded to one hydrogen atom by a single bond.
What is the largest number of atoms a carbon atom can bond to with all triple bonds?
Carbon can only make a triple bond with 1 atom.
What shape does the molecule CH2O have?
It is formaldehyde in which carbon atom is sp2 hybridized so it is a triangular molecule with bond angles of 1200 .
Why can a carbon atom bond with itself easily?
It has 4 valence electrons which can bond to itself in any of 3 ways: singly, doubly, or triply. Carbon is not the only element that is good at this: silicon and germanium can do the same.
What type of bond is present in carbon monoxide?
One carbon atom and one oxygen atom are connected by a triple bond that consists of two covalent bonds and one dative covalent bond.
The carbon atoms in graphite and the carbon atoms in diamond have different?
They have different structures.They are both made up of Carbon (diamond has more Carbon atoms though) but the reason that graphite and diamond are so different in shape, hardness, etc, is due to how it is structured.The carbon atoms themselves are identical, the inter-atom bonding is different.Graphite - carbon atoms bond in flat hexagons that tessellate flat sheets.Diamond - carbon atoms bond in cubes that form a cubic crystal solid.
Does diamond have a metallic bond?
No, diamond, an allotrope of carbon, does not have a metallic bond. Carbon, which is the element from which diamond is formed, is a nonmetal.
What carbon atom forms a covalent bond with nitrogen?
Any carbon atom can form a covalent bond with nitrogen. In hydrogen cyanide, HCN, the carbon atom forms a triple covalent bond with the nitrogen atom. In amino acids, the carbon atom forms a single bond with a nitrogen atom.
What kind of bond exists between carbon atom and chlorine atom?
Covalent bond exists between a carbon atom and a chlorine atom.
Why diamond is bad conductor of electricity?
Diamond is made up of pure carbon. In the structure of diamond one carbon atom is attached to four other carbon atoms forming a covalent bond. All the electrons of each carbon atom is shared and the octet rule is satisfied. Hence no free electron is left for the conductance of electricity.
What is adjacent atom and bond?
The adjacent carbon atom means the carbon atom next to, or beside, the atom of interest. For example, in an aldehyde, the carbon that has the double bond to oxygen is called the carbonyl carbon. The adjacent carbon is called the alpha (α) carbon.
What type of bond is formed when there are 4 separate covalent bonds between a carbon atom and another atom?
Carbon bond?
What is the molecular form of acetylene gas?
The molecular formula of acetylene gas is C2H2. The shape of the molecule is linear, with the two carbon atoms joined by a triple bond and each carbon atom also bonded to one hydrogen atom by a single bond.
What type of bond is formed between a carbon atom and an sulfur atom?
It is a covalent bond
What is the largest number of atoms a carbon atom can bond to with all triple bonds?
Carbon can only make a triple bond with 1 atom.
How many atoms can bond with a single carbon atom?
carbon can bond with 4 different atoms.
