    What are the Different covalent bonds formed by carbon?

    A carbon atom has four valence electrons. So, the sharing of all four electrons is possible. Thus, the valency of carbon is the most important factor for its capacity to form bonds.

    Carbon atom

    Carbon atoms can form single, double, or triple covalent bonds.

    • Single covalent bonds

    For example,

    in a methane molecule (\[ CH_{4}\]) a single carbon atom shares its four valence electrons with four different hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen is a monovalent element (only one electron in its outermost shell).
