Will carbon and hydrogen atoms most likely form an ionic bond or a covalent bond?

In most cases, carbon shares electrons with other atoms (usual valence of 4). This is because carbon typically bonds with elements which have a similar electronegativity. Examples of covalent bonds formed by carbon include carbon-carbon, carbon-hydrogen, and carbon-oxygen bonds
