- A carbon atom can form covalent bonds with other carbon atoms or with the atoms of other elements. Carbon often forms bonds with hydrogen.
- Compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. Methane (CH4), which is modeled in the Figure below, is an example of a hydrocarbon.
- In methane, a single carbon atom forms covalent bonds with four hydrogen atoms. The diagram on the left in the Figure below shows all the shared valence electrons.
- The diagram on the right in the Figure below, called a structural formula, represents each pair of shared electrons with a dash (–).
