Answer:

The carbon atom also has the ability to form a bond with other carbon atoms to create covalent bonds forming long strings of carbon atoms, bonded to each other like links in a chain. ... Hence carbon as an element has the ability to form a variety of stable compounds, which can exist freely in nature.Carbon cannot gain or lose electrons. ... Carbon cannot form C4+ because if it loses 4 electrons, it would require a large amount of energy to remove 4 electrons leaving behind a carbon cation with six protons in its nucleus holding on to just 2 electrons.
