Actually carbon valency written as 1s2 2s2 2p2.why not this is write as 1s2 2s1 2p3?

First of all this is not Carbon's valency, it is electronic configuration or arrangement of electrons around nucleus.
Electron filling takes place by Aufbau principle.
Explanation: Electrons around an atom are arranged in shells( denoted by n) numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on. Each of these shells is further divided into s,p,d,f subshells(denoted by l).
It is known that electrons in a subshell have same energy. Electron filling occurs 1st in subshells of lower energy and higher energy subshell is filled only after the lower subshell is completely filled (Aufbau principle). Subshell whose n+l sum is less has lower energy. So here 2s(n+l=2) shell is lower to 2p(n+l=3), and 2s can have 2 electrons so after 2s is filled 2 electrons left go to 2p subshell.

What is the valency of carbon in ethane?
Valency of carbon is 4. It remains 4 in ethane too.
What is the valency of carbon in CH4 C2H2 C2H6?
The Valency of carbon in any molecule is ALWAYS '4' . So in methane (CH4) it is '4' In H2C=CH2 is is still '4' In CH3-CH3 it is still '4'.
Who proved that valency of carbon is four?
kekule in 1865.
The number of bonds for each carbon atom in a structural formula is?
Is four as carbon has 4 valency .
When carbon valency is 4 and -4?
-4 in carbides 4 in methane
What is the valency of carbon?
The combining power of carbon is 4. This means that each carbon atom can form 4 bonds.
What is the valency of carbon in ethane?
Valency of carbon is 4. It remains 4 in ethane too.
What is valency of carbon in ethane?
Valency of carbon is 4. It remains 4 in ethane too.
How many valency electron CARBON has?
when carbon is not in exited state it has two valency to form the bond. But when it is exited it has four unpaired of electrons. So therefore carbon has a four valency and can form four bonds.
What is the valency of carbon in methane and carbon dioxide?
4
