How many ionic bonds does carbon form in its compounds?

Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.


What elements are in ionic compounds?

Ionic compounds only occur between a nonmetal and metal, also Halogens and The Carbon Family do not form Ionic bonds.


Why carbon does not form ionic compounds?

Carbon has four valence electrons and to for am ionic compound, carbon should lose all the four electrons. This needs high ionisation energy and hence carbon generally shares electrons and forms covalent compounds. However carbon does form ionic compounds as in metal carbides.
