Can carbon get helium configuration by losing four electrons from the outer shell?

[prasanna]

1. If carbon loses four electrons from the outer shell, it has to form ${{C}^{4+}}$ ions.
2. This requires huge amount of energy which is not available normally.
3. Therefore ${{C}^{4+}}$ formation also is a remote possibility.
4. Carbon has to satisfy its tetravalency by sharing electrons with other atoms.
5. It has to form four covalent bonds either with its own atoms or atoms of other elements.
