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)

True or false Carbon is ideally suited to form ionic bonds?

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.


Is carbon likely to make covalent bonds or ionic bonds?

Carbon typically forms covalent bonds. It is rare for it to form ionic bonds.


Is carbon disulfide ionic bond?

No. Carbon does not form ionic bonds, and in this case they are double-covalent bonds.


How many ionic bonds does carbon form in its compounds?

Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.


Does carbon usually form ionic bonds?

No, carbon usually forms covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons. Carbon is more likely to share electrons with other atoms to complete its valence shell.


Is carbon tetrachlorine an ionic or covalent compound?

Carbon tetrachloride is a covalent compound. It consists of covalent bonds between carbon and chlorine atoms rather than ionic bonds typically found in ionic compounds.


Are bonds in carbon dioxide ionic?

No, bonds in carbon dioxide are covalent. Carbon dioxide is composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a central carbon atom. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, whereas covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.


Does CO have ionic bonds?

No, carbon monoxide (CO) does not have ionic bonds. It is a covalent compound where the carbon and oxygen atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule.


How many ionic bonds can carbon form?

none


What type of bond would a carbon atom form covalent or ionic?

If it bonds with a metal then its ionic. if it bonds with a nonmetal then is covalent.


Carbohydrates are well suited to energy storage because the contain many bonds of what?

Because they contain ionic and covalent bonds


Are carbon and iodine ionic bonds?

No, carbon and iodine form covalent bonds, where they share electrons to complete their outer electron shells. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
