4 electrons
Carbon has two electrons in its inner shell and four in its outer shell.
Carbon generally form four covalent bonds. Carbon has six electrons. Two of its electrons completely fill the first shell while the remaining four leave the second shell halfway full. Therefore, carbon binds covalently with other atoms. Four covalent bonds allows carbon to fill the second shell with eight electrons.
In a neutral carbon atom, there will be 4 electrons in the outer most valence shell.
14 electrons. 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in second shell, and 4 electrons in the valence shell.
Carbon, as a non-metal wants to gain electrons to have 8 outer shell electrons. In its outer shell, carbon has 4 electrons. Therefore, a carbon ion picks up 4 electrons to become C-4
There six electrons in carbon atom, 2 in the first shell and 4 in the second shell.
there are four electrons on the outer shell of carbon..
Carbon has two electrons in its inner shell and four in its outer shell.
Carbon generally form four covalent bonds. Carbon has six electrons. Two of its electrons completely fill the first shell while the remaining four leave the second shell halfway full. Therefore, carbon binds covalently with other atoms. Four covalent bonds allows carbon to fill the second shell with eight electrons.
Carbon has 2 electrons in it's first electron shell. All elements except hydrogen do.
In the first shell there are two electrons and in the second shell there are six electrons, but only the electrons in the second (outer) shell are valence electrons.
In a neutral carbon atom, there will be 4 electrons in the outer most valence shell.
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
8 electrons
14 electrons. 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in second shell, and 4 electrons in the valence shell.
Carbon, as a non-metal wants to gain electrons to have 8 outer shell electrons. In its outer shell, carbon has 4 electrons. Therefore, a carbon ion picks up 4 electrons to become C-4
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
