Carbon forms four covalent bonds by sharing its four valence electrons with four univalent atoms, e.g. hydrogen. After the formation of four bonds, carbon attains the electronic configuration of

The table shows the electronic structures of four elements. 

1.  Identify which element(s) will form covalent bonds with carbon.
2. “Carbon reacts with an element in the above table to form several compounds.” Give suitable reason.

"Carbon prefers to share its valence electrons with other atoms of carbon or with atoms of other elements rather than gaining or losing the valence electrons in order to attain noble gas configuration." Give reasons to justify this statement.

State the reasons, why carbon cannot

1. Lose four electrons to form C⁴⁺ cation and
2. Gain four electrons to form C^4- anion.
