Question

carbon cannot form ionic compounds why

Answer 1

$\huge\pink{HOLLA \: DEAR!!}$







To form ionic bonds, Carbonmolecules must either gain or lose 4 electrons. This is highly unfavorable; therefore, carbon molecules share their 4 valence electrons through single, double, and triple bonds so that each atom can achieve noble gas configurations.






HOPE IT HELPS UH!

Answer 2

To form ionic bond, carbon molecule mist either gain or lose 4 electrons .This is highly unfavorable so carbon molecule form their 4 valence electron through single double and triple bond so that each atom can achieve noble gas configuration
