What is the maximum number of atoms that a carbon atom can bond with in a organic compound

4

Explanation:

carbon atoms only have four valence electrons so they can only bond with 4 other atoms

Answer: Four (4)

Explanation: Carbon has a total of six electrons in its shell but has four (4) electrons in its outermost shell. Electrons found in the outermost shell are called valence electrons. This means that carbon needs four (4) electrons to complete its octet structure that is carbon needs four electrons to attain a stable octet structure of noble gases.
