Question

Can carbon form two double bonds by sharing two pairs of electrons?^{​​​​​​}

Answer 1

A double covalent bond is where two pairs of electrons are shared between the atoms rather than just one pair. Two oxygen atoms can both achieve stable structures by sharing two pairs of electrons.


A carbon–carbon bond is a covalent bond between two carbon atoms. ... In fact, the carbon atoms in the single bond need not be of the same hybridisation. Carbonatoms can also form double bonds in compounds called alkenes or triple bonds in compounds called alkynes.
