Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.
Carbon form generally covalent bonds; ionic bonds are rare.
Single, double, and triple covalent bonds
Methane (CH4) is not likely to have ionic bonds because it is composed of nonmetallic elements (carbon and hydrogen) that tend to form covalent bonds by sharing electrons rather than transferring them. Ionic bonds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal.
Neon, a noble gas, does not typically form ionic bonds as it already has a full outer electron shell. It is stable and non-reactive due to its complete octet of electrons.
Carbon can form 4 covalent bonds as it has 4 valence electrons.
Carbon and silicon are reluctant to form ionic bonds because they have high electronegativity values and small atomic radii. These properties make it energetically unfavorable for them to lose or gain electrons to form ions, as compared to other elements. Instead, they tend to form covalent bonds where they share electrons with other atoms.
The most common form is the single bond, carbon atoms can also form double bonds or triple bonds.
