Question

How covalent bonding in carbon compounds​

Answer 1

Covalent Bonding in Carbon: Carbon and its compounds form covalent bonds which are formed by sharing of electrons among same or different molecules. Methane: Carbon has four un-shared electrons in its valence shell. ... This is donated by four other hydrogen atoms, forming four covalent bonds

Answer 2

Carbon has four valence electrons, so it can achieve a full outer energy level by forming four covalent bonds. When it bonds only with hydrogen, it forms compounds called hydrocarbons. Carbon can form single, double, or triple covalent bonds with other carbon atoms
