carbon has a atomic number 6.thus it gets a distribution of electrons with electronic configuration 2,4.
this makes it have 4 shells as its valence electrons.now,to make it stable ,it must either donate four electrons or gain four electron or bonds to attain stability.thus is is better to gain four more as it does.
