Question

Explain giving reason why carbon neither forms c4+ positive cations and c4- negative anions but forms covalent compounds which are bad conductor of electricity and have low melting and boiling point

Answer 1

Because it is difficult to hold for extra electrons and would required large amount of energy to remove for extra electrons

Answer 2

AS PER MY KNOWLEDGE
=======================
CARBON NEITHER FORM C4+ OR C 4-
BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS...
=======================================

1⃣BECAUSE IT REQUIRES A HIGH ENERGY TO MAKE C4- OR C4+

2⃣BECAUSE THE ATOMIC NUMBER OF CARBON IS 6 SO THAT IF IT GAIN ELECTRON THAN ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO HOLD 10 ELECTRON IN ITS ORBIT.

=======================================

✌THESE ARE BAD CONDUCTOR BECAUSE OF LACK OF ELECTRON IN COVALENT BONDING OF CARBON.

=======================================

✌ITS LOW MELTING AND BOILING POINT IS DUE TO WEAK FORCES OF ATTRACTION IN THE COVALENT BONDING OF CARBON
