The number of valence electrons equals an atoms main group number. Carbon is in group 4, therefore carbon has 4 valence electrons.
As carbon belongs to IV-A group of the Periodic Table, therefore it has four electrons in its outermost shell.
6
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
Carbon has two electrons in its inner shell and four in its outer shell.
In the outermost shell that has electrons in it, those are called the valence electrons. For example carbon has 6 electrons, but only 4 are valence electrons because there are 2 in the shell in between it and the center of the element and 4 on the outside shell.
Generally, a compete valence shell holds EIGHT electrons.
There are four valence electrons because it is in 4A row. 5A 5 valence 6A 6 valence etc. Carbon has four.

Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.
Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the valence shell.
carbon has totally six electrons. Out of these, four electrons are in the valence shell or the outer most shell.
Yes, carbon has 4 valence electrons in its outer shell.
Carbon has two electrons in its inner shell and four in its outer shell.
In the outermost shell that has electrons in it, those are called the valence electrons. For example carbon has 6 electrons, but only 4 are valence electrons because there are 2 in the shell in between it and the center of the element and 4 on the outside shell.
Generally, a compete valence shell holds EIGHT electrons.
A valence electron, or valence electrons, are found in all of the elements. A valence electron is an electron located on the out most shell of an element (the valence shell). Most elements will have more than one valence electron. Oxygen, or O, has six valence electrons because its outer shell consists of six electrons.
There are four valence electrons because it is in 4A row. 5A 5 valence 6A 6 valence etc. Carbon has four.
