How many electrons does carbon have in its first electron shell?

Carbon has two electrons in its inner shell and four in its outer shell.


What is the difference between a valence electron and a shielding electron?

Valence electrons are electrons on the outermost shell/orbitals. Sheilding electrons are inner electrons that block valence electrons from protons causing less attraction.


What is different between free electron and inner shell electron?

A free electron is able to move as it is in the outer shell of the atom. So free electrons can carry a charge. If an atom has free electrons it is able to conduct electricity. Inner shell electrons cannot carry a charge as they are closer to the nucleus.


How many electrons is in the inner shell of bohr model carbon?

2


Are electron shells and electron dots the same thing?

no. electron shells are just what contain the electrons. the inner most shell contains 2, then 8 and so on.


What do the outermost electrons of an atom and inner electrons?

calculate the current due to revolution of electron in the outermost orbit of the Na atom, if the time period of revolution of electron is 2 micro second


Elements that have 8 electron?

Oxygen has 8 electrons (2 in the inner shell, 6 in the outer).


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.


The attraction of the nucleus for the outer electrons in large atoms is lessened as a result of?

Its all called electron shielding.


What is an inner electron?

These are the electrons that are not the valence electrons and are also known as core electrons.See the Related Questions and Web Links to the left for more information about valence and core electrons.


There are four electrons in every electron shell?

No, on the most inner shell, only 2 electrons can be held, but then on every other shell it is usally 8
