Why carbon forms covalent bond?

Answer 1

Carbon forms covalent bond when it shared electrons with other atoms.

Answer 2

It has 4 electrons in its outermost shell (Half filled shell) and it is energetically unfavorable to add or remove 4 electrons to gain stability. It thus shares the electrons and forms covalent bonds.

Answer 3

Carbon chains are formed with bonds joining one carbon to another. Since the carbon atoms are of equal electronegativity, the bonds are nonpolar covalent bonds. Therefore, the statement that carbon chains are formed with covalent bonds is TRUE.

Answer 4

Carbon forms covalent bonds because it has 4 valence electrons and needs 4 more electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. By sharing its valence electrons with other atoms, carbon can achieve this stable configuration, making covalent bonding energetically favorable.

Answer 5

Yes, carbon chains are formed with covalent bonds.

Answer 6

Yes, polymers are held together by covalent bonds. Ionic bonds can form a crystal lattice, but usually not much else.

Answer 7

yes
