Question

Carbon is unable to form C4+ ion because ________. — Exam MCQ

rrbjepyq.in · Accepted Answer

D. Its formation requires a large amount of energy — Carbon cannot form a C4+ ion because removing four electrons requires a tremendous amount of energy. Due to carbon's small size and high ionization energy, it tends to share electrons rather than lose or gain them. This makes forming a C4+ ion highly unfavorable and impractical under normal conditions.
