No. carbon is mbets known for forming four covalnt bonds.The compound Al4C3 reacts with water to form methane. This is sometimes described as consisting of Al3+and C4- ions- however the bonding will be covalent with polar bonds-- There are other ionic carbides- most notably calcium carbide CaC2 which contains the C22- ion with a triple bond between the carbons.
carbon forms only covalent bond.It shares its electrons with some other element. Ex. CH4 methane
4. Carbon has 4 valence electrons and it rarely forms ionic compounds or compounds with fewer than 4 bonds (though it's possible).
Carbon atoms usually form four covalent bonds in carbon compounds. In some kinds of compounds, however, carbon forms a type of bond called "double" or "triple", in which carbon atoms share two (in double bonds) or three (in triple bonds) electrons from each carbon atom in the bond. In such instances it would be preferable to say that each carbon atom in one or more carbon to carbon bonds shares four electrons, rather than forms four bonds. Carbon only rarely if ever forms ionic bonds to another atom, but may do so in alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbides.
Ionic compounds
Generally carbon forms covalent compounds. There are compounds with carbon anions, for example CaC2, calcium carbide which contains the C22- anion
Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.

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)
Organic compounds tend NOT to be ionic - there are exceptions. Organic Chemistry is defined as the Chemistry of Compounds of Carbon. Ionic forces tend to intercede when we add Oxygen.
carbon atoms cannot form ionic bonds because it can neither gain or loose electrons as it has 4 electrons in its valence shell.so it share its electrons which forms covalent bond.
Sodium forms ionic bonds. Carbon forms covalent bonds.
The elements that generally form ionic bonds are the metals and nonmetals.
