they trade and share electrons, depending on how many are in there outer shell.
Two electrons from each element are shared; the total is four electrons.
Boron is in group 3 and forms generally 3 covalent bonds. Because forming 3 bonds only gives boron a share of 6 electrons boron compounds are Lewis acids.
Carbon can support up to 4 bonds, or a total of 8 electrons.
Bromine has 7 electrons. Three bonds with oxygen give sic electrons and the charge gives one. Therefore, bromine has 14 electrons in valence shell in Bromate(V) ion.
In a reaction u need two valence electrons to gain or share two valence electrons.
not 8

This question seems a bit unclear. Perhaps it meant something like: "how many electrons can be shared with carbon atoms?" Anyway, a carbon atom can share 4 electrons with other atoms, including other carbon atoms.
Covalent bonds come as singles, doubles, and triples. Single bonds share 2 electrons; doubles, 4; and triples, 6. Examples would be fluorine gas (F2), oxygen (O2), and nitrogen (N2), respectively.
Neon is a noble gas with 10 electrons. Neon has 2 core electrons and 8 valence electrons. It does not share electrons with other elements to form bonds.
An atom can make a number of covalent bonds equal to the number of electrons it needs to fill its outer shell
In a double covalent bond, each atom provides two electrons; a total of four electrons in the bond.
Every bond has 2 shared electrons. There are a total of 11 bonds making 22 shared electrons.
Boron is in group 3 and forms generally 3 covalent bonds. Because forming 3 bonds only gives boron a share of 6 electrons boron compounds are Lewis acids.
