carbon forms covalent bond because
carbon has valency 4,
so to complete octet in need for more electrons
if it could gain for electrons forming C 4 - and Eon it would be difficult for the nucleus with 6 protons to hold on to 10 electrons that is four extra electrons
if it could lose 4 electrons forming C4 plus cation it would require large amount of energy to remove for electrons leaving behind a carbon cation with 6 protons in its nucleus holding onto just two electrons so
to overcome this problem carbon share 4 electrons so forms covalent bond
the two properties of Carbon which lead to the huge number of carbon compounds are catenation and tetravalency
