Interpreting your question as "How many electrons does a carbon atom have?", carbon atoms are, when not in ionic form, orbited by six electrons (as it is the sixth element on the periodic table).
Hope this helps

if its not an ion it has 6
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
4 electrons
A neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons.
A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons.
there are 12 electrons in carbon. you can find this out by looking at the "ATOMIC NUMBER"
Carbon has 4 outermost electrons.
Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the valence shell.
In all there are 6 electrons, but the electrons are distributed over 2 shells. In the first shell, there are 2 electrons, and in the second there are 4 electrons. Note that this applies to the neutral atom of carbon.
No. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell (valence shell).
In a carbon dioxide molecule, carbon does not take electrons from oxygen. Instead, carbon shares electrons with oxygen through covalent bonds, forming a stable molecule.
Carbon would share electrons with the oxygen to form carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.
