Answer:
Type of bond that is formed by the carbon atom is covalent bond.
Explanation:
Carbon has the valency of 4. Hence it bonds with the other atoms in the same way by sharing electrons. Especially it like to bond with elements which has similar electronegativity.
There are two type of covalent bonds
Pure covalent bond: This type of bond forms when carbon bonds only with another carbon atom to form a molecule. Example: Graphite.
Polar covalent bond is another type of covalent bond that is formed when the carbon atom pairs with oxygen atom which has a slight higher electronegativity than the carbon.
