Carbon needs 4 valence electrons to satisfy it's outer energy level.
Carbon is in the fourth group, so it has four electrons. Having eight electrons is when an atom is stable. So, carbon wants four more electrons to be stable.
carbon wants to gain or lose 4 electrons to become stable

Carbon has 4 valence electrons. It needs four more to form the octet. So carbon will share four electrons
No, it doesn't have a complete octet. Phosphorous is in group 5A, meaning it has 5 valence electrons (5 electrons on its outest shell).
The atomic number of phosphorus is 15.its electronic configuration is 2,8,5.outermost shell has 5 electrons. it can accommodate 3 more electrons to complete its octet.so its valency is 3. and it has 5 electrons on its valence shell.

4V V-Valence Electrons Valence Electrons-Last electron (which is on the outer shell)
The atomic number of carbon is 6. 6 protons, 6 electrons. Two in the first shell and 4 on the second shell leaving 4 spaces open, making the second shell the valence shell and the 4 spaces open the valence- valence is the bonding capacity, in other words the electrons needed to fill the second shell. First shell max is 2 electrons Seccond shell max is 8 electrons
Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.
These are the noble gases which have a complete valence shell.
Carbon has 4 valence electrons. It needs four more to form the octet. So carbon will share four electrons
Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the valence shell.
carbon has totally six electrons. Out of these, four electrons are in the valence shell or the outer most shell.
Yes, carbon has 4 valence electrons in its outer shell.
Carbon has two electrons in its inner shell and four in its outer shell.
Valence electrons are located in the outermost energy level or shell of an atom. These electrons are involved in chemical bonding and determine the atom's reactivity and tendency to form bonds with other atoms.
the number of electrons in a valence shell is 8
False. Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell.
There are 2 electrons in the valence shell of an iron atom because it is in Group 8 of the periodic table and has 8 valence electrons. However, iron typically loses 2 electrons to form a2+ ion, leaving 0 electrons in its valence shell.
