If it bonds with a metal then its ionic. if it bonds with a nonmetal then is covalent.
Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound. It is composed of one carbon atom bonded covalently to two oxygen atoms.
CBr (carbon monobromide) is a covalent compound. It is composed of a carbon atom bonded to a bromine atom via a covalent bond, where they share electron pairs to form a stable molecule.
Carbon tetrafluoride, CF4 is covalent. It has four fluorine atoms arranged at the vertices (points) of a tetrahedron around a central carbon atom.
Ionic
Methane is not a ionic compound.
Generally carbon forms covalent compounds. There are compounds with carbon anions, for example CaC2, calcium carbide which contains the C22- anion
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.
Methanol has covalent bonds. It is covalent
Ionic
This does not happen. Carbon forms covalent bonds with oxygen, not ionic bonds.
No, carbon and oxygen typically do not form an ionic bond. Carbon and oxygen are both nonmetals that tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds. In an ionic bond, electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, while in a covalent bond, the electrons are shared.
Single, double, and triple covalent bonds
