Answer:
The type of bond formed by carbon is a covalent bond.
Explanation:
The electron configuration of C ( Atomic number = 6) is 1s²2s²2p². So, the outermost shell of C has 4 electrons. Four more electrons are needed to attain the inert gas configuration of 8 in its valence shell. Thus, C tends to share its 4 electrons and forms covalent bonds with other molecules.
