Yes, carbon forms a few ionic compounds such as calcium carbide (CaC2). There are some organic ionic compounds, such as sodium acetate (NaCH3CO2), in which the formal charge is not on a carbon atom but on a more electronegative one such as oxygen.

∙ 11y agoYes. With highly electrpositive metals such as the group1 metals( Li, Na,K etc) and group 2 (Mg, Ca, Sr etc ) forms compounds where there are ions such as
C4-, methenides
C22-, acetylides
C34-, sesquicarbides
The carbide compound made industrially is calcium carbide., (calcium acetylide) which produces acetylene when water is added. There is significant production in China.
Note that many carbides with other metals are not ionic such as tungsten carbide sometimes used to make jewellery such as rings.

How many ions in one carbon atom?
None. An Ion is created when a atom gains or loses an electron and therefore becomes electrically charged.
Carbon monoxide bonds how?
Triple bond between the carbon and oxygen.
What do you mean by 1 atom of Carbon and 1 gram atom of Carbon?
One atom of carbon is one atom of carbon. One gram atom of carbon is the atomic weight (14 in the case of carbon) in grams, so it would be 14 grams of carbon.
Why does nitrate ion is a weak nucleophile in sn1 reaction?
In a SN1 reaction, the nucleophile (in this case, nitrate ion) attacks the carbon atom that is bonded to the leaving group. Since the carbon atom is already bonded to the leaving group, it is not as electronegative as it would be if it were bonded to a hydrogen atom. This makes the carbon atom a less effective nucleophile. In addition, the nitrate ion is a weaker nucleophile than other nucleophiles, such as halide ions, because it is not as electronegative.
Do ions consist of more than one atom?
Yes; polyatomic ions, such as nitrate, ammonium, etc.
Which atom has only 6 electrons?
The neutral atom is Carbon, but other ions can have only 6 electrons.
How many ions in one carbon atom?
None. An Ion is created when a atom gains or loses an electron and therefore becomes electrically charged.
Is carbon a molecule?
Well if you mean one carbon atom bonded to a oxygen atom, then the correct name would be carbon monoxide. Mono meaning one. yes - It is also called carbon monooxide
Carbon monoxide bonds how?
Triple bond between the carbon and oxygen.
What are the kinds of atoms or ions contained in the compound CO2?
There are 2 types of atoms. Carbon and the other type is Oxygen. 2 Oxygen atoms are bonded to a single Carbon atom.
How many ions are in carbon?
Carbon don't contain ions.
What Is a atom that grain or lost atom?
Ions
Is carbon in the inside a atom or outside an atom?
Carbon is an atom.
Ions that are made of more than one atom are examples of what?
Ions made up of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.
Why can't hydrogen ions exist by themselves?
because oxygen and carbon cannot be separated
What do you mean by 1 atom of Carbon and 1 gram atom of Carbon?
One atom of carbon is one atom of carbon. One gram atom of carbon is the atomic weight (14 in the case of carbon) in grams, so it would be 14 grams of carbon.
Ions that are made of more then one atom?
polyatomic ions
