[He] 2s2 2p2
The electron configuration of carbon in noble gas notation is [He] 2s^2 2p^2. This notation indicates that carbon has the same electron configuration as helium up to the 1s orbital, followed by the electron configuration of the remaining orbitals (2s^2 2p^2).
c: Edit (Wolf5370): Actually it is usually ".cc" for carbon copy and ".bcc" for blind carbon copy. Standard notation.
The long form electron configuration for carbon is simply 1s2 2s2 2p2. The noble gas shortcut electron configuration for C is [He] 2s2 2p2.
Yes, argon is heavier than carbon dioxide. Argon is a noble gas that is denser than the diatomic molecule carbon dioxide, which consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
Carbon dioxide is a gas at 20 Celsius. It deposits into a solid at -80 Celsius.
Carbon achieves a noble gas configuration by forming covalent bonds with other atoms, typically by sharing electrons to complete its valence shell. In forming compounds like methane (CH₄), carbon shares its four outer electrons with four hydrogen atoms, resulting in a full outer shell of eight electrons. This configuration mimics that of noble gases, which are stable due to having full valence shells.
carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas at 45°C.
At room temperature (around 25°C), carbon dioxide is a gas.
