alleryWhich type of chemical bond is present in most carbon compounds?
AIonic bond
BCovalent bond
CHydrogen bond
DMetallic bond
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Covalent bond
1. Most carbon compounds have low melting/boiling points and do not conduct electricity.
2. This shows their structures lack ions, so no ionic bonds are present.
3. Carbon attains a noble gas configuration by sharing its four valence electrons.
4. Sharing of electron pairs forms covalent bonds.
