Yes. Two of the electrons will go into the carbon's outer s shell (2s) to completely fill it (s orbitals can contain up to two electrons) and the remaining two will go into its outer p shell (2p).
Most commonly covalent bonds. Occasionally it forms polar covalent bonds. And if Carbon is feeling particularly nasty it forms ionic bonds. Why? Because Carbon does whatever the f*** it wants. You are welcome.
30 valence electrons. Valence electrons are on the outer shell of a atom. To find valence electrons, subtract the amount of electrons the noble gas has before the element from the number of electrons the element actually has. Since the noble gas before carbon is Helium, you subtract 2 electrons from 6 electrons which gives you 4 valence electrons. Since there are 6 carbon atoms, multiply 4 by 6 to get 24. Do the same to the hydrogen atoms and add the valence electrons of the two molecules together and you should get 30 total valence electrons.
A saturated carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms. In organic compounds, this typically includes other carbon atoms or hydrogen atoms. This arrangement allows the carbon atom to reach its stable configuration with a full outer shell of electrons.
No. Carbon forms bonds very easily and it's outer shell is only half full.
The Noble gases have a completely filled valence electron shell. Since they are already totally stable on their own, it takes too much energy to ionize them and make them bond with other elements. The reason elements react is to gain the highest level of stability they can. There is no need for Noble gases to react if they are already at their highest level of stability.
In a neutral carbon atom, there will be 4 electrons in the outer most valence shell.
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
there are four electrons on the outer shell of carbon..
Carbon has four electrons in its outer shell and needs four more electrons to complete its octet.
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
An element that has two outer electrons is carbon. Carbon would not use the energy to gain six more electrons when it can easily get rid of the two outer electrons.
carbon has totally six electrons. Out of these, four electrons are in the valence shell or the outer most shell.
The element with 6 outer shell electrons is carbon. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell and 2 electrons in the shell before that, totaling 6 outer shell electrons.
No. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell (valence shell).
There are 6 electrons in the outer shell of CH2O. Carbon has 4 outer electrons, hydrogen has 1 each, and oxygen has 6.
Carbon and Germanium They all have 4 electrons in their outer orbital
Yes, carbon has 4 valence electrons in its outer shell.
