When two carbon atoms are covalently bonded together, they try to achieve an octet structure so their electrons are 4 in number while each of them donates their remaining 2 so they end up sharing 4.

A stable atom would need 8 valence electrons, so since its sharing, lets subtract. 

8 - 6 = 2

It needs only 2 valence electrons.

For single bonds between similar types of atoms, how does the strength of the bond relate to the sizes of the atoms? Explain.
uysha [10]

When comparing single bonds between atoms of comparable types, the stronger the bond is, the bigger the atom, the weaker it is.

The length of the X-H bond lengthens while the strength of the bond shortens with increasing halogen size (F-H strongest, I-H weakest). When comparing single bonds between atoms of similar sorts, the larger the atom, the weaker the bond. It can be explained by the fact that less energy is required to break the bond the bigger the atom's atomic size. The force of attraction from the nucleus to the outermost orbit will be less for iodine since it has a larger atom than the other elements in the group.
