How many bond sites are found on each carbon atom?

Question

How many bond sites are found on each carbon atom?
On each hydrogen atom?
What effect does this answer.

Answer 1

C has 4 bonds and H has one bond.

Answer 2

C atoms have four electrons in the outer level, and really want 8, so they need 4 more. That is the same as saying they have 4 "bond sites". Hydrogen atoms only have one such site.
The conclusion that you can come to is that the formula of methane is CH4.

Answer 3

In most cases, carbon will have four bonds and hydrogen will have one bond.

It is important to note, however, that there are intermediates known as carbanions (3 bonds, 1 lone pair), carbocations (3 bonds, no lone pair), and radicals (three bonds, 1 lone electron). They are extremely unstable though, and will react really quickly to reachieve the four bonds.

Note, also, that hydrogen can exist as a proton ( H+) or a hydride (H-)

Answer 4

hydrogen is one atom with one proton, it consistently has an atomic mass of one million. it could bond with as many electrons there are on its outer shell (covalently) EG. carbon has 6 electrons, and four on the outer shell, so it could bond to 4 different issues (e.g. hydrogens, like in methane) one hydrogen atom can bond to a minimum of one element, like in H2O, the place there are 2 bonds with 2 hydrogens, and because oxygen has 6 on its outer shell, it has 4 electrons which at the instant are not being bonded to something (lone pairs)

Answer 5

C has 4 bonds. H has one bond.
