Answer : Yes, the given statement is true.
Explanation :
As we know that the carbon has four valence electrons. The carbon is the only atom which has catenation property.
Catenation : It is a self-linkage of atoms of the same element into a longer chains. It forms covalent bonds with the other carbon atoms and form longer structures.
The covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons.
Carbon atoms can form single, double, or triple bonds.
Single bond : It is a type of chemical bond in which a pair of electrons is shared between the two carbon atoms. 
Double bond : It is a type of chemical bond in which 2 pairs of electrons are shared between the two carbon atoms. 
Triple bond : It is a type of chemical bond in which 3 pairs of electrons are shared between the two carbon atoms. 
Hence, the given statement is true.
