Carbon is in Group 4 on the periodic table. Does carbon typically form covalent or ionic bonds, and why? (1 point)

It typically forms covalent bonds because it is a nonmetal, and nonmetals always form covalent bonds.
It typically forms ionic bonds because it will give away four electrons in order to become stable.
It typically forms ionic bonds because it is a nonmetal and will bond with a metal.
It typically forms covalent bonds because it wants four more electrons to share in order to fill its outer shell.
