Carbon's electronegativity is midway on the scale, so it usually forms covalent bonds. With atoms other than hydrogen, the bond is usually polar covalent. With hydrogen, the bond is considered non-polar, although it does contain some polar characteristic.

Covalent. The only exceptions are Be2C and Al4C3, where carbon forms an ionic bond.

carbon,forms covalent bonds.Covalent bonds are bonds that take place between non-metal elements.The bond usually results in the compound having a low melting point and a lower souliobility in water compared to ionic bonds

Covalent bonds.

Well it's neither very electropositive nor electronegative, being near the middle of a row in the periodic table, and it's got a valency of 4 so covalent.
