Question

Answer 1

Answer:

♤ Carbon can't lose 4 electron to form C^4+ ions as very high energy is required to remove 4 electrons. ♤ Carbon can not gain 4 electron to form C^4- ions as 6 protons can not hold 10 ♤ electrons and Energy needs to be supplied to overcome repulsion

Answer:

carbon can't form C4+ or C4- as it forms covalent bond. which means sharing of electrons. for example- methane which is CH4, carbon has 4 electrons in its valance shell which forms covalent bond with other 4 Hydrogen to complete it's shell.
