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.

How many electrons will one carbon atom share?
One carbon atom will share four electrons.
How many valence electrons and how many bonds does carbon form with other atoms?
carbon has 4 valence electrons and can form a maximum 4 bonds with other atoms.
How many valence electrons can carbon share?
4
If two carbon atoms are attached by a single covalent bond how many elections do they share?
A single covalent bond is two electrons. It's also known as a "shared pair" of electrons.
How many electrons are shared between carbon atoms in ethene?
It is a triple covalent bond, therefore the carbon atoms share six electrons.
How many other pairs of atoms can carbon share its electrons with?
a carbon atom can share electrons with up to four other atoms.
How many electrons do carbon atoms have?
Carbon atoms have 6 electrons, when non-ionized
How many electrons do carbon atoms always share?
They have 4. They "want" to share 8, but they don't always get to do so. Carbon monoxide is the best example of incomplete combustion.
How many electrons will one carbon atom share?
One carbon atom will share four electrons.
What characteristic of carbon atoms allows the formation of all of these compounds?
Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell (outershell). Since this energy shell can hold eight electrons, each carbon atom can share electrons with up to four different atoms. Carbon can combine with other elements as well as with itself. This allows carbon to form many different compounds.
