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?
True
Does carbon usually form ionic bonds?
carbon does not form ionic bond ,they form covalent bonds
Are bonds in carbon dioxide ionic?
No they are covalent bonds
Can carbon-carbon bonds be single double or triple ionic bonds?
They can be single, double, or triple covalent bonds. Ionic bonds aren't referred to that way, and because carbon atoms have the same electronegativity, bonds between them aren't even polar, much less ionic. (Ionic bonds involve electron donation, because one of the atoms involved is much more electronegative than the other - this isn't the case here.)
Is a diamond a ionic compound?
No its carbon really compressed there are no ionic bonds, just covalent.
True or false Carbon is ideally suited to form ionic bonds?
True
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.
Does carbon usually form ionic bonds?
carbon does not form ionic bond ,they form covalent bonds
How many ionic bonds does carbon form in its compounds?
Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.
Are bonds in carbon dioxide ionic?
No they are covalent bonds
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
Can carbon-carbon bonds be single double or triple ionic bonds?
They can be single, double, or triple covalent bonds. Ionic bonds aren't referred to that way, and because carbon atoms have the same electronegativity, bonds between them aren't even polar, much less ionic.

Compare the ways in which the elements sodium and carbon form chemical bonds.?
Sodium forms ionic bonds. Carbon forms covalent bonds.
Is a diamond a ionic compound?
No its carbon really compressed there are no ionic bonds, just covalent.
