How many electrons would a carbon atom have to gain to fill it's outmost level?

Four.


How many electrons does carbon need to gain in order to obtain a noble-gas electron configuration?

Carbon needs to gain four electrons in order to obtain a noble gas electron configuration, similar to that of neon. This will result in a full valence shell with eight electrons, fulfilling the octet rule.


How many electrons would carbon have to gain to form a covalent bond?

Carbon atoms do not gain electrons to form a covalent bond. Carbon atoms form four covalent bonds by sharing its four valence electrons with the valence electrons of other atoms. These can be single bonds, in which one pair of electrons is shared; double bonds, in which two pairs of electrons are shared; or triple bonds, in which three electrons are shared; or a combination of these.


How many electrons does carbon have to give up to achieve a noble gas configuration?

4 but it will need energy, so carbon gain 4 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration.


An element that has two outer electrons seeks to gain six more?

An element that has two outer electrons is carbon. Carbon would not use the energy to gain six more electrons when it can easily get rid of the two outer electrons.


How many electrons would an atom of carbon need to have to be a negative ion?

There are six electrons in two shells.In order to stable carbon, it take electrons from nearest noble gas to stable the carbon.It order to stable carbon it gain -4 electrons from the nearest noble gas Neon.


How many electrons will be gained or lost in carbon?

Carbon is the "utility player" of chemistry, and can bond in many different ways with other elements. It generally shares electrons covalently with other non-metals, usually hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. It doesn't typically lose or gain them (but can in certain situations.)

Gains or loses electrons for carbon?

Carbon can both gain and lose electrons. We "see" it every day in the form of compounds or in pure substance.


Will Se lose or gain electrons and how many?

Se will gain electrons


How many electrons does a carbon ion have?

It depends on the charge of the carbon ion. Carbon ions can have different charges (e.g., +1, +2, -3), so the number of electrons would vary accordingly. For example, if the carbon ion has a +4 charge, it would have 4 fewer electrons than a neutral carbon atom.


How many ions are in carbon?

Carbon typically forms no ions because it is an element with 6 protons and 6 electrons, resulting in a neutral charge. However, in certain chemical reactions, carbon can gain or lose electrons to form ions.
