Carbon has 4 outermost electrons.
Carbon needs to have 8 electron in its outermost shell to have it completely filled, 4 more valence electrons than it has in the neutral for of carbon.
Helium only needs 2 valence electrons to have a filled outermost energy level.
Electronic configaration of C is 2,4. So it has Four.
Phosphorus has five electrons in its outermost energy level (valence electrons).
8
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.

3 electrons
The chloride ion (Cl-) has 8 electrons on the outermost energy level.
5 electrons
There are eight electrons in the outermost energy level of a chloride ion.
2
8
There are eight of them.
Three (3) electrons in this energy level.
The outermost energy level of an atom typically has between 1 and 8 electrons.
