carbon can neither gain nor lose electrons because 1 If carbon gains 4 electrons to form c4- ions then carbon will have 10 electrons and 6 protons cannot hold on to 10 electrons. 2 If carbon loses 4 electrons to form c4+ ions then a lot of energy is required which is not possible. Hence carbon shares electrons to form covalent bonds.

Carbon has four electrons in it's valence, and possess the property of catenation. It forms covalent bonds, and hence, leads to the formation of different elements.
It cannot lose or gain electrons, due to it's tetravalency
