    False. Carbon does not not usually make ionic bonds when it is by itself. Usually it is in a poly atomic ion such as CO₃ which consists of covalent bonds but has an over all charge of - 2 which is why it can take part in ionic bonding.

    C, carbon can bond with itself to form really long carbon chains with other atoms coming off of it to complete the octet if needed. examples of these are hydrocarbons.
