    Carbon has the ability to bond with up to six other atoms. This statement is false

    Explanation:

    Carbon with atomic number 6, has an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p2. The incomplete P orbital in energy level 2 reveals that carbon has the ability to bond with only four (4) other atoms through covalent bonding (single or double bonds) in order to form an stable octet structure.

    Thus, the statement that Carbon has the ability to bond with up to six other atoms is false.

    The answer is B, since 6 is Carbon's atomic number, it's impossible for it to bond with 6 other atoms.
