Want this question answered?
Ionic compounds only occur between a nonmetal and metal, also Halogens and The Carbon Family do not form Ionic bonds.
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.
carbon forms only covalent bond.It shares its electrons with some other element. Ex. CH4 methane
true
True
Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.

Oxygen and carbon combine with each other to form covalent compounds as in carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonate ion, etc.
substances such as sodium and chlorine for ionic compounds basically it is neutral elements that form ionic compounds
Generally carbon forms covalent compounds. There are compounds with carbon anions, for example CaC2, calcium carbide which contains the C22- anion
I am gonna guess wi wi ( yes in french)
no. carbon generally forms covalent bond. but carbon does form ionic bond with metal ions as in carbides, carbonates, bicarbonates (though the number of covalent compounds of carbon are more)
Usually ionic compounds form crystals when in their solid state.
