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.


Which of these compounds is not likely to have ionic bonds LiF CH4 NaC1 or MgF2?

CH4 (methane) is not likely to have ionic bonds. This compound is composed of covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms. The other compounds listed contain ions and are more likely to have ionic bonds.


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.


Is carbon disulfide ionic bond?

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


Would bromine and carbon make an ionic compound?

No, bromine and carbon would not form an ionic compound. Carbon typically forms covalent bonds and bromine can also form both covalent and ionic bonds, depending on the element it is reacting with. In this case, a covalent bond would be more likely between bromine and carbon.


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.


How many ionic bonds does carbon form in its compounds?

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


Does carbon C and oxygen O form ionic bonds?

No, carbon and oxygen typically do not form ionic bonds. They are more likely to form covalent bonds, where they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What compounds contains both ionic and covalent bonds NaNO3 CH3Cl C2H3OH NH2OH H2O2 CH3C?

NaNO3 contains ionic bonds between Na+ and NO3-, while C2H3OH contains both covalent and ionic bonds due to the presence of both carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen bonds; CH3Cl contains a covalent bond between carbon and chlorine; NH2OH has covalent bonds between nitrogen and hydrogen, as well as nitrogen and oxygen; H2O2 contains covalent bonds between hydrogen and oxygen; CH3C likely refers to CH3COOH (acetic acid), which contains covalent bonds between carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.


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.


Is carbon monoxide ionic or covanlent?

carbon monoxide has covalent bonds making it a covalent compound.


Is AiPO a ionic bond or covalent bond?

AiPO is likely to have both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between the metal ion "A" and the phosphate ion is likely to be ionic, while the bonds within the phosphate group are covalent.
