Carbon has for valence electrons for forming covalent bonds.
valency of carbon is positive as it gives it electron so it is positively charge
Electronic configaration of C is 2,4. So it has Four.
The order is: Iodine (7 valence electrons) Carbon (4 valence electrons) Calcium (2 valence electrons) Sodium (1 valence electron)
There is no non-metal with one valence electron. Every element with 1 valence electron belongs to the alkali metals family
Neutral Carbon atoms contain 6 electrons and 6 protons 2 electrons are found in the 1st electron ring and 4 in the outer ring to reach a stable electron (8 in the outershell) arrangement carbon requires 4 covalent bonds to be formed
A diagram of a typical carbon atom would show a nucleus comprised of 6 protons and 6 neutrons. It would also have two electrons in the first energy level, then 4 electrons in the second, or valence energy level (1s22s22p2.)
it shares four.
Four. Each electron can join with an electron from another atom to form a strong covalent bond.
Carbon has four valence electrons. Each of theseelectrons can pair with an electron from another atom to form a strong covalent bond. In carbon, all the electrons with the principal quantum number 2 are valence electrons, but the two electrons with principal quantum number 1 are not.
The valence electrons are the electrons in the last shell or energy level of an atom. They do show a repeating or periodic pattern. The valence electrons increase in number as you go across a period. Then when you start the new period, the number drops back down to one and starts increasing again.1A2A3B4B5B6B7B------8B------1A2A3A4A5A6A7A8AH1He2*Li1Be2B3C4N5O6F7Ne8Na1Ar8K1Sc3Ti4V5Cr6Mn7Fe8Co8Ni8Cu1Zn2Kr8For example, when you go across the table from carbon to nitrogen to oxygen, the number of valence electrons increases from 4 to 5 to 6. As we go from fluorine to neon to sodium, the number of valence electrons increases from 7 to 8 and then drops down to 1 when we start the new period with sodium. Within a group--starting with carbon and going down to silicon and germanium--the number of valence electrons stays the same.Every electron that's a valence electron in an atom is also a valence electron in a molecule formed by that atom. For example, an atom of carbon has 4 valence electrons. That means the carbon atom in carbon dioxide CO2 must contribute 4 valence electrons to the carbon dioxide molecule.An electron that is added to or subtracted from a molecule to make a polyatomic ion is assumed to be a valence electron.These facts let you count the valence electrons in the N2[CH3]42+ion in two steps:Add up the valence electrons from each atom that forms the molecule.Sometimes it helps to write the simplest form of the chemical formula vertically while you do this:N22 x 5 = 10( 2 nitrogen atoms, each with 5 valence electrons )C44 x 4 =16( 4 carbon atoms, each with 4 valence electrons )H1212 x 1 = 12( 12 hydrogen atoms, each with 1 valence electron )38total valence electrons from the atomsAdd or subtract valence electrons to account for the charge on the molecule.For example, if the molecule has a charge of -1, add 1 valence electron. If the molecule has a charge of -2, add 2 valence electrons. On the other hand, if the molecule has a charge of +1 , subtract 1 valence electron, and if the molecule has a charge of +2, subtract 2 valence electrons.In this case, since the N2[CH3]42+ion has a charge of +2 we need to subtract 2 valence electrons , for a new total of 36 valence electrons.
four. each electron can join with an electron from another atom to form a strong cavalent bond
