The given structure is of carbon (atomic number 6). Carbon has 4 electrons in its valance shell (outer most) and requires 4 electrons to complete the octate (most stable state). Hence carbon can form 4 covalent bonds (form by sharing of electrons) with other atom.
Example- CH4 (Methane)
Your answer (4) is correct

How many covalent bonds can a single fluorine atom commonly form with other elements? A. 3 B. 1 C. 4 D. 2
When are multiple bonds formed between atoms and why? Multiple bonds between atoms form in order that each atom can achieve an inner-shell electron octet. Multiple bonds between atoms form norder that each atom has more than 4 electrons and in the result this bond will be stronger than single. Multiple bonds form only between large atoms and it leads to the decreasing of electron density at these atoms. Multiple bonds between atoms form in order that each atom can...
When there are too many electrons or too few electrons and the atoms cannot or will not form multiple bonds, which atom in the structure does not recieve a complete or has an extended octet? Explain why only one atom in the structure is affected in these situations.
How many covalent bonds are predicted for each atom? ONE covalent bond TWO covalent bonds Atoms: B THREE covalent bonds FOUR covalent bonds Se N
When an atom is bonded to other atoms, it can combine its valence shell orbital to form a new set of orbitals that is at a lower total energy in the presence of the other atoms than the pure atomic orbitals would be. This process is called hybridization, and the new orbitals that are formed are called hybrid orbitals. These hybrid orbitals can overlap with orbitals on other atoms to share electrons and form bonds. Such hybrid orbitals usually give...

Atoms can bond to other atoms to make molecules. Atoms sometimes break these bonds and form them in a different way. For example, it is possible to take two molecules of hydrogen (H_2) and one molecule of oxygen (O_2), put them near one another, give them a little spark to help them start a reaction, and you will end up with two molecules of water (H_2O). Do you see what happened? Some of the H-H bonds and the O-O bonds...
