Five, I believe.
Carbon has four electrons in its outer shell and needs four more electrons to complete its octet.
carbon has totally six electrons. Out of these, four electrons are in the valence shell or the outer most shell.
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
there are four electrons on the outer shell of carbon..
Carbon has four electrons in its outer shell. The electron configuration of carbon is 1s² 2s² 2p², where the two electrons in the inner shell (1s) are not counted toward the outer shell. Therefore, in the outer shell (2s and 2p), carbon has a total of four electrons.
There are four electrons found on the outer shell of a atomic structure of tin. They are in a group of four.
Four
In its ground state it does.
Yes. Two of the electrons will go into the carbon's outer s shell (2s) to completely fill it (s orbitals can contain up to two electrons) and the remaining two will go into its outer p shell (2p).
The atom wants to have eight or full electrons in its outer valence ring... so if it has four electrons in its outer shell it has the choice of loosing four electrons or finding four electrons somewhere else (whichever is the easiest for it to bond with).
Carbon has a valence of 4 which means it has four electrons on its outer shell that allow it to bond with up to four other atoms. The valence of carbon allows it to form large, diverse, complex molecules.
