Most nonmetals form covalent or ionic bonds, depending on the element with which they react. Carbon predominantly forms covalent bonds since it has 4 valence electrons and can form single, double or triple bonds with other elements. What element will form an ionic bond with carbon

Calcium element will form an ionic bond with carbon.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is defined as the bond formed due to transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

Elements which are able to donate their valence electrons are the ones which tend to form an ionic bond. Metals are the species which form ionic bonds when they chemically combine with non-metals.

For example, is calcium carbide and in this compound calcium forms an ionic bond with carbon atom by donating its valence electrons.

A covalent bond is defined as the bond formed due to sharing of electrons between the two elements.

Thus, we can conclude that calcium element will form an ionic bond with carbon.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
