Carbon does NOT normally ionise. However, under controlled circumstances it could be made to be C^4+ or C^4- .
NB Carbon is in Group 4 of the Periodic Table. Elements to the left , Groups 1,2,&3. normally ionise to M^+, M^2+ , M^3+ respectively. Elements to the right, Group 5,6,&7 have an electron affinity to form X^3-, X^2-, & X^- respectively. Carbon being in the middle of the period does neither ionise nor have electron affinity.
For bonding carbon catenates ( shares it electrons) to form covalent bonds.
