If carbon has four electrons in its outer shell does it completely fill its outer selectron shell?

Yes. Two of the electrons will go into the carbon's outer s shell (2s) to completely fill it (s orbitals can contain up to two electrons) and the remaining two will go into its outer p shell (2p).

What is the number of shared pairs of electrons in C6H14?
30 valence electrons. Valence electrons are on the outer shell of a atom. To find valence electrons, subtract the amount of electrons the noble gas has before the element from the number of electrons the element actually has. Since the noble gas before carbon is Helium, you subtract 2 electrons from 6 electrons which gives you 4 valence electrons. Since there are 6 carbon atoms, multiply 4 by 6 to get 24. Do the same to the hydrogen atoms and add the valence electrons of the two molecules together and you should get 30 total valence electrons.
What kind of bonds does carbon and nitrogen form and why?
Most commonly covalent bonds. Occasionally it forms polar covalent bonds. And if Carbon is feeling particularly nasty it forms ionic bonds. Why? Because Carbon does whatever the f*** it wants. You are welcome.
Those electrons that are largely responsible for an atoms chemical behavior are called?
The outermost electrons in an atom that are responsible for all chemistry are known as valence electrons.
Where are the electrons found that are involved in ionic or covalent bonding?
Electrons are found in outer shells around the nucleus. The nucleus has protons and neutrons in it. The electrons are in shells or clouds around the nucleus. There are different numbers of electrons in each shell. The first one has two and the second one holds 8 electrons. An ionic bond will transfer electrons where a covalent bond will share electrons in the outer most orbital Hope it helps
Is carbon an element that dose not form bonds easily because it has a full outer shell?
No. Carbon forms bonds very easily and it's outer shell is only half full.
How many atoms are in the outer Shell of carbon?
there are four electrons on the outer shell of carbon..
How many electrons does a carbon ion have?
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
How many electrons are needed to fill carbon outer shell?
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
How many electrons does carbon have in the outer energy level or shell?
In a neutral carbon atom, there will be 4 electrons in the outer most valence shell.
How many electrons does a carbon atom have in its outer energy level?
There are four electrons in the outer or valence shell of a neutral carbon atom.
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.
Does carbon have four electrons?
carbon has totally six electrons. Out of these, four electrons are in the valence shell or the outer most shell.
How many number of electrons to fill the outer shell of carbon?
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
What element that has the same number of electrons in its outer energy level as silicon does?
Carbon and Germanium They all have 4 electrons in their outer orbital
Is carbon valence 4?

How many electrons does carbon have in its outer most shell?
4
How many electrons does carbon lack in its outer shell?
4
