OpenStudy (rushwr):

answers?

OpenStudy (rushwr):

Most of the tym carbon shares it's electrons with other atom/(s)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. it forms ionic bonds by sharing electrons b. it forms covalent bonds by donation electrons c. it forms covalent bonds by sharing electrons

OpenStudy (rushwr):

Actually it won't form ionic bonds. Covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons . SO I would go with C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It might form ionic bonds but not by sharing electrons because then the bond wont be ionic. also it cannot form a covalent bond by donating electrons because that is not how covalent bonds work so it is C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct (:

OpenStudy (rushwr):

Formation of ionic bonds here is highly unfavorable so it is very rare.
