Because it makes its bond by sharing the atom or making a covalent bond

Carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell. So, if carbon has to make ionic compounds then there are following possibilities:

  • Carbon may gain four electrons to attain a noble gas configuration. But in such a situation, it would be difficult for 6 protons to balance 10 electrons.
  • Carbon may lose four electrons to attain a noble gas configuration. But removing 4 electrons from a carbon atom would require too much energy and hence this won’t be possible in practical situations. Moreover, after losing four electrons the carbon atom would be left with just 2 electrons to balance 6 protons.
