Why carbon formed covalent bond not ionic bond |
|
Answer» Because carbon is tetravalent.So it can gain or lose 4 electron to become stable.But it\'s very difficult to lose 4 electron as high ionisation energy is required.Carbom also cann\'t gain 4 electron as it\'s very difficult for six protons to hold ten electron.So instead of losing and gaining electron it shares them and form covalent bonds. Because of it\'s tetravalency nature. |
