Why does Carbon always form Covalent Bond?

Carbon has four valence electrons. To attain noble gas configuration of the nearest noble or inert gas (He = 2 or Ne = 2,8), there are following possibilities – (1)  It could gain 4 electrons and form C –4 anion. By that way, it can achieve noble gas configuration (Ne = 2,8) having 8 electrons in the …
