That's not an indication of a metal.
If you think that's bad, try Nitrogen with +5
All it indicates is that it can give up electrons. (Carbon usually shares them.)

A non-metal bonding to a non- metal makes what charge?
it depends on the valency of the atoms
What scientific term can be used to describe carbon and hydrogen?
Compounds with just hydrogen and carbon are referred to as hydrocarbons.Hydrogen is a non-metal. It is the simplest element in the periodic table.Carbon is a special non-metal, it has a valency of 4 which allows it to form complex structures with not only itself but other elements, carbon is the basis of life.
Is carbon in the non metal or metal family?
Carbon is a non-metal.
If a metal X with valency 3 combines with a non-metal Y with a valency 2, what will be the formula of the compound formed when X and Y combines?
1
Is carbon and potassium a non metal?
Carbon is a non-metal while potassium is a metal.
Is carbon element of metal?
Carbon is an element. It is a non metal
Is C a metal or nonmetal?
C is carbon, and carbon is a non metal.
How come carbon isn't a metal?
because it has non of the aspects of carbon! this makes it a non metal
This is a tetrachloroethene molecule C2Cl4 What types of bonds are present in the carbon-carbon double bond?
carbon are non-metal. Covalent bonds are formed between non-metal and non-metal.
Are diamonds metal or non metals?
No. A pure diamond is carbon, and it is an allotrope of this element in the same way that graphite (pencil lead) is an allotrope of carbon. Thus, diamond is not a metal because carbon is not a metal.
How do you identify valency of any atom?
The easiest way to determine the valency of an atom is to locate its place on the periodic table. Generally, it is useful to remember that metals tend to give away valence electrons where non metal atoms tend to obtain them. For example, sodium, a metal, is in group 1 has valency of 1. Sulfur, a non metal, is in group 16 and is 2 electrons away from its stable electron configuration, hence it has valency of 2.
Is ammonium a metal or nonmetal?
ammonium NH4 does not state that is a metal or non metal because it has valency 1 that is a properties for a metal but also has nitrogen and hydrogen are both present in it which are both non metals , so it cannot be stated that ammonium is a metal or non metal.
