When an atom has four valence electrons how many bonds will it form with other atoms?
An atom with four valence electrons will typically form four bonds with other atoms to achieve a stable octet configuration. This allows the atom to share or transfer electrons in order to fill its outermost energy level.
In methane the total number of groups of electrons on the central atom is?
There are four pairs of electrons around the central carbon atom of methane. These pairs each consist of one electron originally from the carbon and one from the hydrogen atom bonded to it.Though the question only considers the outer shell of electrons, as that is the only shell used for bonding, it may be useful to remember that in methane the carbon atom has a total of ten electrons around it, due to its two inner electrons.
What subatomic particle does every atom of carbon have in common?
Each carbon atom (atom number 6) has 6 protons (in nucleus) and 6 electrons (orbited around), the number of neutrons (also in nucleus) may vary from 6 or (less common) 7 or (rarely) 8.
How may electrons are there in 4.15381023 atoms of Carbon 13?
You can NOT have a fraction of an atom. Your question therefore makes no sense and can not have an answer.
Do carbon contain four ionic bonds in its compounds?
Carbon atoms usually form four covalent bonds in carbon compounds. In some kinds of compounds, however, carbon forms a type of bond called "double" or "triple", in which carbon atoms share two (in double bonds) or three (in triple bonds) electrons from each carbon atom in the bond. In such instances it would be preferable to say that each carbon atom in one or more carbon to carbon bonds shares four electrons, rather than forms four bonds. Carbon only rarely if ever forms ionic bonds to another atom, but may do so in alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbides.
How many bonds are present between two carbon atoms?
A carbon atom has 4 valence electrons, so two together may have a single, double, or triple bond.
Why does carbon have tendency of multiple bonding?
carbon is the smallest tetravalent atom that means it has four unpaired electrons in its exited state,due to smaller size and high electrons density the p- orbitals of carbon may form stable pi bonds so multiple bonding is possible for carbon.
What kind of charge will an atom have if it gains or loses one or more electrons?
If an atom loses an electron, it will be positively charged. An example may make this clearer. A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons. If you take away an electron, you will have 6 protons and 5 electrons, for a total charge of +6 -5 = +1.
What is the inner energy levels of electrons in the carbon atom?
So carbon has 6 electrons. These fill the 1s orbital. Depending on how it is bonding, it may be 2s2 2p2, but it is more often a hybrid of 2s1, 2p3 (sp3, sp2 and sp hybridisation).
How may electrons are in a chlorine atom?
Chlorine has 17 electrons. 7 of its electrons are valence electrons.
How may electrons does helium have?
A neutral atom of helium has 2 electrons.
A carbon atom can form no more than this number of bonds?
A carbon atom can typically only form 4 covalent bonds, but there are rare special cases in which it may form more than 4 to create an expanded octet.
