Answer:

The chemical Bond formed by the sharing of two valence electrons between two atoms is called Covalent Bond. The Covalent Bond between two carbon atoms is strong and therefore stable. Hence, Carbon only forms covalent bonds with carbon or any other because carbon needs four electrons it cannot lose four electrons.

Answer:

Carbon atom has been no tendency to lose its four valence electrons or gain four more electrons from other atoms. Therefore, carbon atom completes its octet only by sharing its valence electrons with other atoms. As a result, therefore carbon always forms only covalent bonds with other atoms.

If atoms have similar electronegativities (the same affinity for electrons), covalent bonds are most likely 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.
