Question

Carbon is a non metal but why it loses its electrons as like as a metal?

Answer 1

Elements with four outermost electrons such as carbon find it easier to share electrons than attempt to gain or lose four electrons. The bond formed by sharing of electrons between the two atoms is called covalent bond. Leaving behind a cation with six protons in its nucleus and holding just two electrons.

Answer 2

as because the last shell of atom carbon has 4 atom and it is much easier to gain another four atom than to lose for atom because of the ionisation energy
