The number of covalent bonds that one carbon atom can form is ___________ .

Find the type of hybridization of each carbon in the following molecules. (i) CH_(3)F , (ii) CH_(3)CHO (iii) CH_(3)CH_(2)CN , (iv) CH_(3)CONH_(2) (v) CH_(3)C-=C CH_(3) , (vi) CH_(3)CH-=CH_(2) Strategy: Carbon atom forming four sigma bonds but no pi bond is always sp^(3) htbridized, carbon atom forming three sigma bonds and one pi bond is always sp^(2) hybridized, and carbon atom forming two sigma bonds and two pi bonds is always sp hybridized.
