It has 4 electrons in its outermost shell (Half filled shell) and it is energetically unfavorable to add or remove 4 electrons to gain stability. It thus shares the electrons and forms covalent bonds.

Carbon chains are formed with bonds joining one carbon to another. Since the carbon atoms are of equal electronegativity, the bonds are nonpolar covalent bonds. Therefore, the statement that carbon chains are formed with covalent bonds is TRUE.
