The number of valence electrons equals an atoms main group number. Carbon is in group 4, therefore carbon has 4 valence electrons.
There are four valence electrons because it is in 4A row. 5A 5 valence 6A 6 valence etc. Carbon has four.
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
Generally, a compete valence shell holds EIGHT electrons.
In a neutral carbon atom, there will be 4 electrons in the outer most valence shell.
A carbon needs 8 electrons to have a solid shell so it usually form 4 other bonds to combine with the 4 electrons it already has
No. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell (valence shell).

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 four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
Aluminum has three electrons in its valence shell.
Generally, a compete valence shell holds EIGHT electrons.
