Electrons reside around the nucleus in discrete energy levels. These energy
shells contain orbitals - a mathematical probability that an electron will
exist in that space. Orbitals are described by quantum mechanics in distinct
shapes. S orbitals are spherical and p orbitals are shaped like dumbbells.

Covalent Bonds –
Carbon (1s22s22p2) would have to gain or lose 4 electrons to achieve a filled shell and is
therefore not easily ionized. Carbon forms covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds.
