False. Carbon can form both ionic and covalent compounds. Carbon typically forms covalent bonds due to its ability to share electrons with other elements.
Carbon does not readily form ionic compounds because it has a high ionization energy, meaning it requires a large amount of energy to remove electrons and form a stable cation. Instead, carbon tends to form covalent compounds by sharing electrons with other atoms to achieve a full outer shell configuration.
No, binary ionic compounds are made up of positively charged metal ions and negatively charged nonmetal ions. While metals can form ionic compounds with nonmetals, not all metals are involved in forming binary ionic compounds.
No, carbon and oxygen typically combine to form covalent compounds like carbon dioxide (CO2) or carbon monoxide (CO). Ionic compounds are typically formed between metals and nonmetals, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
False. Carbon is not ideally suited to form ionic bonds because it has four valence electrons, making it more likely to form covalent bonds where electrons are shared rather than transferred.
Oxygen and carbon are bonded by covalent bonding when they form compounds. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, while covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. In the case of oxygen and carbon, they typically share electrons to form covalent bonds in molecules like carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide.
Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.

When carbon reacts with chlorine, the result is a covalent compound, specifically, carbon tetrachloride. And of course, all sorts of organic compounds can be chlorinated by partial or complete replacement of hydrogen atoms by chlorine. But the compound will never be ionic.

I am gonna guess wi wi ( yes in french)

In the case of oxygen and carbon, they typically share electrons to form covalent bonds in molecules like carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide.
Metals form positive ions and form ionic compounds with negative ions.
It is unlikely for an ionic compound to form between fluorine and carbon because both elements are nonmetals with similar electronegativities. It is more common for covalent compounds to form between nonmetals like fluorine and carbon.
Generally carbon forms covalent compounds. There are compounds with carbon anions, for example CaC2, calcium carbide which contains the C22- anion
Oxygen typically forms compounds with nonmetals, such as water (H2O) with hydrogen and carbon dioxide (CO2) with carbon. It can also form oxides with metals, like rust (Fe2O3) with iron.
