Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon atoms are found in hydrocarbons, naturally occurring compound with carbon and hydrogen, but there are molecules in nature that contain beside carbon and hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen too. In this compounds there are carbon-oxygen and carbon-nitrogen covalent bonds.
