Question

A carbon atom is most likely to form what kind of bond(s) with other atoms?

Answer 1

the covalent polar bond(s), for example:
CH₄, CCl₄, CS₂, CH₂F₂

the ionic bonds, for example:
CaC₂, Be₂C, Al₄C₃, Li₂C₂

the metalsimilar, for example:
NbC, Mo₂C, Cr₃C₂

Answer 2

The most common bond formed by carbon is a covalent bond. This is because they tend to share electrons as carbon typically bonds with elements that have a similar electeonegatovity.
