Although metals form basic oxides, which of the following metals form an amphoteric oxide?
"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
- Lose four electrons to form C4+ cation and
- Gain four electrons to form C4- anion.
How does carbon overcome this problem to form compounds?
