Anything in groups 4 through 8 can form double bonds, and anything in groups 6-8 can form triple bonds. It takes one lone pair from each element involved in the bond to, for lack of a better term, "upgrade" the bond to double, and another lone pair from both elements to "upgrade" the bond to a triple bond.

Why can Florine form double or triple bonds?
Fluorine does not form double or triple bonds.
What element has atoms that can form single double and triple covalent bonds with other atoms of carbon?
Nitrogen can form single, double, and triple bonds with carbon. The triple bond form is called cyanide.
Does nitrogen form single bonds only?
No; nitrogen can form single, double, or triple bonds.
Which elements can form a triple covalent bond?
Nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus can all form triple covalent bonds.
Can every atom form single double and triple bonds?
no

No; nitrogen can form single, double, or triple bonds.
Which elements can form a triple covalent bond?
Nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus can all form triple covalent bonds.
Can every atom form single double and triple bonds?
no
When atoms of two different elements share one or more pairs of electrons what bond does it form?
Covalent bonds, (single, double, triple)
Is O3 a triple bond?
Oxygen likes to form single or double bonds. However it does form a triple bond in the case of CO (That is the only triple bond occurance to my knowledge)
Can carbon only form single bonds?
No. Benzene (C6H6) is a base for very many carbocyclic compounds. It contains six carbon atoms in a hexagon. The bonds between the carbon atoms are alternately single and double. The fourth is with the hydrogen. Acetylen (C2H2) jas a triple carbon-to-carbon bond.
How many covalent bonds does carbon almost always form in compound?
mostly double bonds and triple bonds
Is the carbon-carbon a double bond?
Yes, carbon can form either single or double bonds. Yes, and occasionally triple bonds too: eg. HCN.
What bonds do aluminium and carbon form?
Al can form double or triple and C can form single, double and triple(in some cases) and can form partially triple bond also( like CO in carbon monoxide)...;)
Can nitrogen form single and double bonds?
Yes it can for single, double and even triple bond
