Wh are carbon and silicon reluctant to form ionic bonds?

Carbon and silicon are reluctant to form ionic bonds because they have high electronegativity values and small atomic radii. These properties make it energetically unfavorable for them to lose or gain electrons to form ions, as compared to other elements. Instead, they tend to form covalent bonds where they share electrons with other atoms.
