Can Carbon and oxygen form an ionic bond?

No, carbon and oxygen typically do not form an ionic bond. Carbon and oxygen are both nonmetals that tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds. In an ionic bond, electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, while in a covalent bond, the electrons are shared.


Is carbon disulfide ionic bond?

No. Carbon does not form ionic bonds, and in this case they are double-covalent bonds.


Will C and Cl form an ionic bond?

Yes, C and Cl can form an ionic bond. Chlorine has a higher electronegativity than carbon, so it can pull an electron from carbon, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond between the two atoms.


Does oxygen have an ionic bond?

Yes. I know it has an ionic bond with carbon.


Can carbon and hydrogen form an ionic bond yes or no?

No, carbon and hydrogen cannot form an ionic bond because they do not have a significant difference in electronegativity. Ionic bonds occur between elements with a large difference in electronegativity, leading to the transfer of electrons. Carbon and hydrogen tend to form covalent bonds, where electrons are shared.


What type of bond would a carbon atom form covalent or ionic?

If it bonds with a metal then its ionic. if it bonds with a nonmetal then is covalent.


Are likely to form a ionic bond?

A metal and a nonmetal can form an ionic bond.


What type of bond will carbon not form with?

Carbon will not form ionic bonds with other atoms because it is a nonmetal and does not readily gain or lose electrons to form ions.


Which type of bond is not formed by carbon?

Carbon forms covalent bond (in all organic compounds), inorganic bond (in metal carbides) and coordinate bond (in metal carbonyls).Carbon does not form metallic bond or hydrogen bond.

Is carbon and fluorine ionic?

Generally carbon forms covalent compounds. There are compounds with carbon anions, for example CaC2, calcium carbide which contains the C22- anion


Is C2H2 covalent or ionic?

covalent, generally only metals non metal form ionic substances, therefore carbon and hydrogen are covalent. C2H2 is acetylene, ethyne and has a carbon carbon triple bond.
