...It doesn't. Carbon has four valence electrons, as it is in the fourth group on the Periodic Table. For specifics on why, see previously answered questions.
What else can I help you with?
What is the number of valence electrons for carbon?
4 electrons
How many valence electrons does a nitrogen atom have then a carbon atom?
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. carbon has 4 valence electrons.
Does carbon have three electrons in its valence shells yes or no?
No. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell (valence shell).
What is the valance of electrons in carbon?
The atomic number of carbon is 6. 6 protons, 6 electrons. Two in the first shell and 4 on the second shell leaving 4 spaces open, making the second shell the valence shell and the 4 spaces open the valence- valence is the bonding capacity, in other words the electrons needed to fill the second shell. First shell max is 2 electrons Seccond shell max is 8 electrons
How many valence electrons are in C2?
C is 4*2 H is 1*2 For a total of 10 valence electrons
How many valence does a carbon atom have?
Carbon has four valence electrons. Each of theseelectrons can pair with an electron from another atom to form a strong covalent bond. In carbon, all the electrons with the principal quantum number 2 are valence electrons, but the two electrons with principal quantum number 1 are not.
How many valence electrons in C6?
A carbon atom has 4 valence electrons. So, for a C6 molecule, there will be a total of 6 carbon atoms, and each carbon atom will contribute 4 valence electrons, giving a total of 24 valence electrons in the C6 molecule.
What element in the carbon family has 4 valence electrons?
All of them. They all have valence electrons, of ns2, np2
What is the number electrons in the valence shell in carbon?
There are four valence electrons because it is in 4A row. 5A 5 valence 6A 6 valence etc. Carbon has four.
What factor dertemines that an oxygen atom can form two covalent bonds while a carbon atom can form four?
The number of valence electrons in the outer shell determines the number of covalent bonds an atom can form. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, allowing it to form 2 covalent bonds, while carbon has 4 valence electrons, allowing it to form 4 covalent bonds.
The double bond between a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms (a molecule of carbon dioxide) has two characteristics. what are they?
Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms, Four valence electrons are shared.
How many valence electrons does carbon disulfide have?
c=4 valence electrons S=6 valence electrons but since its S2 you times 6 by 2=12 12+4=16 16 valence electrons total for CS2
