1.) Why does carbon form covalent bonds?

It tends to pull 4 electrons from another atom.

It tends to release 4 electrons to another atom.

It will usually bond to multiple atoms which can provide a total of 4 additional electrons.

It has a strong electronegativity.

2.) What type of bond will be formed for atoms that have a + 1 or - 1 charge?

covalent

ionic

they do not react

elemental

3.) Select all that apply.

The relative ionic or covalent character of chemical bonds may be estimated by:

the total number of electrons for each element

the addition of electronegativities

comparison of the associated families to which the elements belong

the difference in electronegativities

    For #1, I'd say it's "It will usually bond to multiple atoms which can provide a total of 4 additional electrons."

    2. Ionic (I'm quite certain because anions/cations (-1 & + 1) are Ionic from what I recall, if that's true it's Ionic.

    3. "comparison of the associated families to which the elements belong" and

    "the difference in electronegativities" are what I would choose, as I mentioned in a comment earlier.

    If I'm wrong let me know, but I am at least 80% sure that these responses are correct from what I remember in Chemistry.
