Question

why carbon makes covalet bond​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Because carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell (and because each covalent bond requires a donation of 1 electron, per atom, to the bond) carbon has exactly four bonds to make, and is only stable if all 4 of these bonds are used. This same rule applies to all of the atoms in the second row of the periodic table.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Carbon makes covalent bond because in ionic bond there is loss or gain of electron but carbon has 4 electron in its outermost shell. Therefore, carbon can not gain or lose electron because it will require a large amount of energy which is not possible. Hence, carbon makes covalent bond with other elements.
