Question

If a carbon atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms, what type of bond must exist between the carbon atoms?

Answer 1

Single covalent bonding

Covalent bonding is the type of bonding that takes place when two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other. In order to form a molecule, these two electrons are glued to one or more atoms. One important contribution of non-covalent bonding is the oxygen we breathe. On the other hand, polar covalent bonding happens when a pair of electrons are being shared unequally because one of the atoms spends way too much time with another electrons rather than with the atoms.
