What factor dertemines that an oxygen atom can form two covalent bonds while a carbon atom can form four?
It is the number of unpaired electrons in their valence shells. Oxygen has two unpaired valence electrons and carbon has four unpaired valence electrons.
How many electrons does krypton have in each electron shell?
how many energy levels are filled in a krypton atom They have four levels. You always put 2 in the first. 8 in the second. 18 in the third. And I believe you are able to put 36 in the fourth level, but correct me if I'm wrong about the fourth level.
How many electrons can there be in each of the four shells surrounding an atom?
Shell 1: Two electrons Shell 2: Eight electrons Shell 3: Eight electrons Shell 4: Eighteen electrons
What is the number of energy shells in a zinc atom?
There are four energy shells. The levels go: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 3d10. This is because there are 30 electrons.
How many atoms with 1 electron in their outer most shells bond with an atom which has 4 electrons in its outer most shell?
Usually four, to form four single covalent bonds to the atom with four electrons in its outermost shell. One of the simplest examples is methane, with formula CH4.
How many shells are there in selenium atom?
Selenium has four electron shells.
What is the charge on the tin atom if four electrons have been removed?
The charge on a tin atom that has lost four electrons is 4+.
How many electrons does carbon have in its first electron shell?
Carbon has two electrons in its inner shell and four in its outer shell.
Where would you expect to find the 6 electrons in an atom of carbon?
All electrons in every atom are located around the nucleus. In carbon atoms there are two electrons in the first principal energy level and four in the second.
How many shells do 20 electrons need?
the answer is 4
How many electrons will one carbon atom share?
One carbon atom will share four electrons.
Which neutral atom would have four electrons?
Beryllium has 4 electrons
