With respect to carbon, I think it's good for bonding because then it can either give 4 away whether it be to one other atom or several or it can receive 4 while bonding...or it can simply share 4. (because it'll need 8 to be complete and stable.)

Is it true atoms with fewer than 4 valence electrons tend to gain electrons when bonding?

No! Atoms with more than 4 electrons gain electrons during bonding. Atoms with less than 4 electrons tend to lose electrons during bonding. Hope this helps!


How do you use te periodic table to identify the number of electrons available for bonding?

Valence electrons describe the number of available electrons for bonding. The group number describes outermost electron. The elements in same group has same valence electrons.The number of electrons available for bonding are the valence electrons. In an element, the group number is equal to the number of valence electrons. So the number of electrons available for bonding can be identified by the group number.

How many valence electrons in the chalcogens group?

The chalcogens group, also known as Group 16, has 6 valence electrons. This group includes elements like oxygen, sulfur, selenium, and tellurium. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom's electron cloud and are involved in chemical bonding.


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

Why does carbon have maximum 3 bonds?

No. Carbon has four valence electrons and can make four bonds.


How many non bonding electrons does carbon have?

The electrons out of ionic bonds and covalent bonds are called as non bonding electrons. Valence electrons are the bonding electrons of carbon.
