Answer:
No they can't.
Explanation:
They two are non metals. They have 2 and 4 atoms in their valence shell, so they can't donate electrons and accept electrons but they share their electrons to form Covalent bond. Carbon atom shares it's 4 valence electrons to two sulfur atoms who themselves share their electrons to the carbon atom. Thereby, Carbon makes an octet of 2,8 and sulphur makes an octet 2,8,8.
Hope this helps.
