( You are wrong that carbon neither gives electron nor takes the electron ,then how does it form octet and what is the type of bond formed )

☆ Carbon do the mutual sharing of electrons

●Carbon has atomic number 6. So it's electronic configuration is ( 2,4). That is it has two electrons in it's first (K) shell and four electrons in its second (L) shell.

●Like every atom carbon atom also tries to complete it's octate (fill it's outermost shell with 8 electrons).

● But here comes problem, carbon has to either gain four electrons or lose four electrons.

● When it will gain four electrons it will acquire four negative charges and become C-4 , and went it loses four electrons and become C+4. C-4 is very unstable as negatively charged carbon repels extra electrons .

●As these both forms are very unstable and requires much energy carbon completes it's octate by sharing electrons with other atoms (forming covalent bonds).

● As a result carbon has unique capacity of forming chains and branches.
