Answer:

Carbon is least likely to be part of an ionic bond.

Explanation:

  • Ionic bond is formed by the process of transformation of electron between two atoms.
  • In ionic bonds the charges of cations and anions are balanced.
  • For the atom of carbon to form an ionic bond it must transfer 4 electron or gain 4 electron from another atom, this is not likely to occur in the chemical reaction.
  • Hence carbon atom shares 4 electron so that it can have the configuration of noble gas.
