Answer:
Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons between atoms. ... To form ionic bonds, Carbon molecules must either gain or lose 4 electrons. This is highly unfavorable; therefore, carbon molecules share their 4 valence electrons through single, double, and triple bonds so that each atom can achieve noble gas configurations.

the transfer of electrons depends on the number of electrons. whether the electrons will be received or or donated is dependent on which is the less in number. for carbon the valency is 4 therefore the probability of donating and receiving electrons is equal. therefore sharing of electrons is most favourable for carbon and forms covalent bond.
