It is rare to find a 4 plus ion of carbon because of the increasing energy required to ionize carbon. Ionization energy increases with each time.

Is C plus an ion?

If I interpret your question correctly, C is the element Carbon. When followed by a plus (in speaking) or a plus symbol it means it has a charge of one unit (elementary charge - charge on one electron). Because Carbon is defined as an atom with 6 protons, this means the Carbon in question must have 5 electrons. Thus it is an ion.

Is carbon dioxide a polyatomic ion?

Carbon monoxide is not a polyatomic ion. In fact, it isn't an ion at all! Carbon monoxide does consist of two different elements (and is therefore a bimolecular compound), but it is a neutral species.
