What type of bonding is present in carbon compounds?


A.

Ionic bonding


B.

Hydrogen bonding


C.

Metallic bonding


D.

Covalent bonding

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (D)   ​Covalent bonding

  • Carbon compounds contain covalent bonds, which are created when atoms share electrons in their outer shells.

Information booster:

Carbon Forms Covalent Bonds

  • Electron Sharing: Carbon has four electrons in its outer shell, allowing it to form four covalent bonds with other atoms to achieve stability.
  • Unique Ability: Carbon can create extensive networks of covalent bonds with itself and other elements, leading to a wide variety of compounds.

Formation of Covalent Bonds

  • In a covalent bond, nonmetal atoms share electrons in their valence shells.
  • The shared electrons are attracted to the nuclei of both atoms, holding them together.

Properties of Carbon Compounds

  • Carbon compounds can have infinite three-dimensional structures due to carbon’s ability to bond in various ways.
  • When fully bonded, carbon's four bonds are arranged in the shape of a tetrahedron.
