Why does carbon cannot gain or lose 4 electrons to attain its nearest noble gas configuration?

gain 4 electrons:-
Because the energy released (electron affinity) for the addition of four electrons is too high,
Lose 4 electrons:-
energy required to lose electrons (the sum of the first 4 ionization energies) is too high

How many electrons are in the outer shell of an atom with the atomic mass of nineteen?
you cannot determine its electronic configuration through its atomic mass. atomic no is necessary. for this, check modern periodic table.
Is there a negative number of electrons?
No. The number of anything that can be counted - including electrons - cannot be negative.
Why technetium and manganese have low melting and boiling point?
Because of stable electronic configuration of Mn electrons are less delocalized and hence they cannot move in electron sea freely to contribute to strong metallic bond. Hence they have low melting points.
Why dont noble gases bond with other elements?
Noble gases have stable octets, meaning they have 8 electrons on their outest shell, which is the max electrons the shell can hold. Since noble gases' outer shells are full, they cannot share or gain electrons from other atoms therefore they do not bond.
How many unpaired electrons does tin have?
Two.Titanium has an atomic number of 22.To check for unpaired electrons, you only need to check the valence shell, or the one that is not filled.1s2(2), 2s2(4), 2p6(10), 3s2(12), 3p6(18), 4p2(20),These shells are all filled, and there are two electrons left to go in the d shell. Because the d shell has five subshells, and electrons cannot pair until all subshells are filled, both these electrons are unpaired.
Write electron configurations for each of the following ions?
An electron configuration refers to the distribution of electrons in orbitals. Since there are no ions given for this question, an electron configuration cannot be provided.
What is Nitrogen's valence electron configuration?
When answering these questions just refer to the periodic table. Nitrogen is in the 5th column (excluding the d block) This means that Nitrogen has 5 valence or outer electrons (free electrons) I am assuming that you are referring to N2. NOTE we always want to achieve the stable 8 electron configuration but this cannot always happen. In the case of N2 this is possible since we have 2 N's therefore we have 2 x 5 electrons=10 we can have single double and triple bonds. single has 2 electrons double has 4 electrons triple has three therefore for each N to have 8 electrons (the stable number) :N(three lines)N: hence 2x2+3x2=10 so we are right this is the electron configuration.

Does carbon give or take electrons?
Carbon's electronic configuration is-2,4 and hence it has 4 electrons in the outer most shell. Therefore it is highly difficult for it to give electrons and highly difficult for it to be stable after gaining an additional 4 electrons. But Carbon does give and also take electrons under certain favourable conditions.
What is 1s2 2s2 2p6?
Those numbers denote electron orbitals, if my chemistry isn't too rusty that is Na (Sodium).
Cannot complete install program configuration?
There appears to be a configuration error. You have associated Konqueror with application/x-msdos-program, but it cannot handle this file type.
How do you find the nearest ten thousandth is 0.126247?
You cannot because the nearest ten thousandths cannot be 0.126247
How can electrons and protons be broken?
Protons and electrons cannot be disintegrated.
The number of valence electrons in neon?
Neon is a noble gas, and has 8 valence electrons just like all the other noble gasses (Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon).
Is there a negative number of electrons?
No. The number of anything that can be counted - including electrons - cannot be negative.
When electrons cannot be gained or lost they are?
