Question

carbon compounds quick check
which type of bonds can carbon atoms form with other carbon atoms? (1 point!)
single and double bonds
double and triple bonds
single, double, and triple bonds
double, triple, and quadruple bonds

Explanation:

Carbon has 4 valence electrons, allowing it to form single (sharing 1 pair of electrons), double (sharing 2 pairs), and triple (sharing 3 pairs) covalent bonds with other carbon atoms. Quadruple bonds are rare in carbon - carbon bonding in typical organic compounds. So the correct option is the one that includes single, double, and triple bonds.

Answer:

C. single, double, and triple bonds
