Answer:

It can form four covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Carbon is a versatile element because it forms covalent bonds i. e. Single, double, triple and ring or branched etc with other atoms. It forms only covalent bond not ionic bond because carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell. If they make ionic bond, they have to gain 4 electrons and become anion or it has to lose 4 electrons and become cation. So they prefer to make covalent bonds.

Carbon extract oxygen which is attached to the nickel in the form of nickel oxide because carbon is more reactive so it made a chemical bonds with oxygen and nickel oxide is converted into a pure nickel.
