Asingle carbon atom can form a maximum of covalent bond(s).

Answer : A single carbon atom can form a maximum of Four (4) covalent bond(s).

Explanation : A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs.

Formation of covalent bond depends on the number of valence electrons. Electronic configuration of Carbon (C) is :

Valence electronic configuration of C is :

Carbon have four valence electron that means Carbon can form maximum of four covalent bonds.

For example : In methane (CH4) Cabon can share four electrons with four Hydrogen atoms and can form four covalent bonds with 4 H.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
