Answer:
Bcoz it is not able to lose and gain electron as when it lose the electron the no of protons is more than the no of electrons and if it is gain then the no of protons is less than that of electron so it is not convenient to carbon for lose and gain of electrons .
Therefore , it form covalent bond by sharing of electron with other atoms. Also in this case the no of proton and the no of electron is equal
