Yes, carbon forms a few ionic compounds such as calcium carbide (CaC2). There are some organic ionic compounds, such as sodium acetate (NaCH3CO2), in which the formal charge is not on a carbon atom but on a more electronegative one such as oxygen.

What are the ions present in the compound CO2?

Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound, it contains no ions.


How many ions does carbon have?

Carbon typically does not form ions in its elemental state. It has an atomic number of 6, meaning it has 6 protons (which equals the number of electrons in a neutral carbon atom).


How many ions in one carbon atom?

None. An Ion is created when a atom gains or loses an electron and therefore becomes electrically charged.


Is carbon a molecule?

Well if you mean one carbon atom bonded to a oxygen atom, then the correct name would be carbon monoxide. Mono meaning one. yes - It is also called carbon monooxide


What type of carbon atom has six protons?

All carbon has 6 protons: in atoms, compounds and all isotopes of it.


In the following ions the first atom listed is the center atom to the rest of the atoms. Which of the following ions would have a tetrahedral shape?

An ion with a tetrahedral shape has four atoms surrounding the central atom. The ions that could have a tetrahedral shape include CH4 (methane), NH4+ (ammonium), and CF4 (carbon tetrafluoride).


Formula of carbon carbonate?

Carbon carbonate is not a possible compound, because carbonate ions (CO32-) only combine with postive metal ions and C does not exibit this property, being a NONmetal


Why sodiumcyanide is not organometallic compound?

Sodium cyanide (NaCN) is not considered an organometallic compound because it does not contain a direct bond between a carbon atom and a metal atom. In organometallic compounds, the defining feature is the presence of a metal-carbon bond, typically involving transition metals. Sodium cyanide consists of sodium ions and cyanide ions (CN⁻), where the carbon atom is bonded to a nitrogen atom rather than a metal. Thus, it lacks the characteristic structure of organometallic compounds.


Carbon monoxide bonds how?

Triple bond between the carbon and oxygen.


In the following ions the first atom listed is the center atom to the rest of the atoms. Which of the following ions would have a tetrahedral shape apex?

An ion with a tetrahedral shape apex would have a central atom bonded to four surrounding atoms. Examples include methane (CH₄), with carbon as the central atom, and ammonia (NH₃), with nitrogen as the central atom.


Is carbon in the inside a atom or outside an atom?
