No, it has six electrons because its atomic number is 6. Atoms are neutral, so it would need six electrons to counteract with the charge of the six protons. 2 core electrons and 4 valence electrons.
When chlorine is bonded to carbon, it typically has three lone pairs of electrons. Chlorine has seven valence electrons, and when it forms a single bond with carbon, it shares one electron, leaving it with three unshared electrons, which are found in the form of three lone pairs.
if its not an ion it has 6
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
4 electrons
A neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons.
A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons.
Carbon need to obtain four more electrons in order to obtain a noble gas configuration.
there are 12 electrons in carbon. you can find this out by looking at the "ATOMIC NUMBER"
Carbon has 4 outermost electrons.
Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the valence shell.
No. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell (valence shell).
In all there are 6 electrons, but the electrons are distributed over 2 shells. In the first shell, there are 2 electrons, and in the second there are 4 electrons. Note that this applies to the neutral atom of carbon.
