Carbon has four electrons in its outer shell and needs four more electrons to complete its octet.


Does carbon have four electrons?

carbon has totally six electrons. Out of these, four electrons are in the valence shell or the outer most shell.


How many number of electrons to fill the outer shell of carbon?

Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.


How many electrons are needed to fill carbon outer shell?

Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.


How many atoms are in the outer Shell of carbon?

there are four electrons on the outer shell of carbon..


The inner electron shell of carbon holds two electrons the outer ones hold up to 8 electrons. How many electrons have in its outer shell?

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.


How many electrons would the atomic structure of Tin have on its outer shell?

There are four electrons found on the outer shell of a atomic structure of tin. They are in a group of four.


How many electrons are in the outer shell of germanium?

Four


Does germanium have four electrons in its outer shell?

In its ground state it does.


If carbon has four electrons in its outer shell does it completely fill its outer selectron shell?

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).


If an atom has fewer than 4 electrons in its outer shell does it looses electrons gain electrons or both?

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).


How many electrons does carbon have in its outermost shell?

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.
