Question

why carbon does not form ionic compounds? give two reason
​

Answer 1

Answer:

hey here is your answer...

Explanation:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

There is no ionic compound made of carbon.

1. This is because of the fact that both of them are non metals.

2.it has 4 valence electrons, half of an octet. To form ionic bonds, Carbon molecules must either gain or lose 4 electrons.
