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.
Answer:
✔️Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and nonmetal atoms.
✔️The less electronegative atoms transfers one or more electrons to the more electronegative atom
✔️The metal atom forms a cation and the nonmetal atom forms an anion.
✔️The attraction between ions with an opposite charge forms an ionic bond.
Explanation:
Ionic bond refers to the bond formation which occurs when there is complete and permanent transfer of electrons from one metal atom to another non-metal atom. The metals, which are electropositive (less electronegative) loose their electrons while the non-metals, which are less electropositive (more electronegative) gain the electrons.
When the metal atom looses electrons, they form cations(become positively charged) while non-metal atom forms anions (become negatively charged). When the opposite charges attract each other, they form ionic bond.
