Why carbon can neither form C4,

Because loose of 4electron required more energy so it can not form c4

Kirandeep Kaur 5 years, 10 months ago

In simple words if carbon form c4 then it will be difficult for nucleus to lose 4 electrons or large amount of energy will required to lose 4 electrons so they cannot form c4

Kirandeep Kaur 5 years, 10 months ago

Bcoz carbon has four valence electrons in their outer most shell and they can be stable by gaining 4 more electrons to complete its octet Thats why they cannot form c4+ cations or c4- anions.

Aman Singh 5 years, 10 months ago

Carbon is unable to form C4− anion as its nucleus with six protons will not be able to hold ten electrons. Thus, carbon achieves noble gas electronic configuration by sharing its four electrons with other elements, i.e. it forms covalent compounds.

Abhiraj Arpan 5 years, 10 months ago

According to energy conservation carbon is not able to lose four electron or gain another four electron due to its small size.Therefore it shares electron forming covalent bonds
