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

No, a diamond is not a molecule. It is a crystalline form of carbon where each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms in a repeating pattern. Each carbon-carbon bond is a covalent bond formed by sharing electrons.
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 acetylene molecule (C2H2) has a linear shape, with the two carbon atoms bonded to each other by a triple bond and each carbon atom also bonded to a hydrogen atom.
A single hydrogen atom can bond to only one carbon atom.
A carbon-hydrogen bond in ethane is a single covalent bond formed between a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom. It is a sigma bond that results from the overlap of atomic orbitals between carbon and hydrogen atoms. Ethane has a total of 6 carbon-hydrogen bonds.
