Answer 2

Carbon has the atomic number 6 so it has an electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p2 that is it has 4 electrons in the valence shell and thus to form a bond it has to either donate it's 4 electrons or accept it according to the octet rule to attain stability.

Now to participate in ionic bonding it needs to knock of an electron or two but we can't do that as it will require a lot of energy.

But in covalent bonding is like love.Both the species has to give love (electrons) to attain stability (peaceful couple).

Thus for carbon covalent bonding is much easier.

But no one said it can't form ionic bond at all there exists some compounds with ionic bond like aluminium carbide , calcium carbide etc
