Carbon forms covalent bonds ( sharing of electrons) – it comes sort of half way between the electropositive elements ( metals that are good electron donors so form +ve ions) and the electronegative elements ( e.g. the halides oxygen etc. that want to accept electrons) It has this great ability to catenate, form double triple bonds etc.
