Question

Why carbon does not form ionic bond

Answer 1

Answer:

In addition, the ionization energy of the atom is too large and the electron affinity of the atom is too small for ionic bonding to occur. For example: carbon does not form ionic bonds because it has 4 valence electrons, half of an octet. To form ionic bonds, Carbon molecules must either gain or lose 4 electrons.

Explanation:

please mark me as brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

it's forms covalent bond and have valence of 4 which makes it special. it cannot give 4 electrons or gain 4 electrons . so it cannot form ionic bonds . but it forms covalent bonding with other monovalent compounds
