Carbon has an atomic number of 6, therefore the first valence shell is filled with two of the electrons, leaving four electrons and eight empty spaces on the second valence shell.
So... 4 XD
Hope this helped
Carbon has for valence electrons for forming covalent bonds.
It is the atom of deuterium. Its nucleus is composed of a proton and one neutron. The atom has one electron that is orbiting around the nucleus.
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
The electrons of an atom are located in the electron cloud.
This ia an ion. It could be C atom if it has 6 electrons too.
The electron pair geometry of each carbon atom in an alkane is tetrahedral. This is because each carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms, which results in a geometry where the electron pairs are distributed in a tetrahedral arrangement around the carbon atom.
Yes, difluoromethane (CH2F2) is considered electron withdrawing because of the fluorine atoms attached to the carbon atom. Fluorine is more electronegative than carbon, causing it to withdraw electron density from the carbon atom.
A single carbon atom can form up to four bonds with other atoms, as it can share one electron in each of the four available positions in its outer shell.
The Lewis dot structure for carbon monoxide (CO) consists of a carbon atom with two valence electrons and an oxygen atom with six valence electrons. The carbon atom shares one electron with the oxygen atom, forming a double bond. The remaining electron on the oxygen atom is unpaired.
When an oxygen atom is attached to a carbon atom, the carbon atom becomes more electronegative. This is because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, causing it to attract electrons towards itself, making the carbon atom more electron-deficient.
2 electron groups are in CO2. Proof, I got it wrong on a quiz. :(
An electrically neutral carbon atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons: 6, which is equal to its atomic number.
Four. Each electron can join with an electron from another atom to form a strong covalent bond.
there are 12 electrons in carbon. you can find this out by looking at the "ATOMIC NUMBER"
The energy of an electron in the second shell of a carbon atom is higher than in the first shell because electrons in shells that are further from the nucleus have higher energy levels. This is due to the increased distance from the positively charged nucleus in the atom, which decreases the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electron.
A filled orbital has either 2 electrons (if it is the first shell of an atom) or 8 electrons. This is the highest number of electrons these shell can hold Every orbital tends to complete itself to form a stable element. A filled orbital could be any orbital, either 1st, 2nd, second last or last shell of the atom. An unfilled orbital always has atleast one less electron than the shell can hold. It is always the last shell of an atom and always makes the atom unstable as atom tends to acquire inertness by trying to get this unfilled oribital filled.
Nitrogen is larger than carbon. Nitrogen has one more electron and proton than carbon, resulting in a larger size due to increased electron-electron repulsion.
