Answer 2

Answer:

Elements that most commonly bond to carbon are:

1. hydrogen

2. nitrogen

3. sulfur

7. oxygen

Explanation:

Carbon is an organic element which is key to Chemistry and Biochemistry. It usually forms a covalent bond with atoms. It commonly bonds to elements having similar electronegativity. Non-metal elements that typically bond to carbon are oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur and nitrogen. Moreover, carbon can also bond to phosphorus and halogens, as well as metallic elements, such as iron and nickel, with which it forms highly covalent compounds.
