How many dots should you draw in the Lewis structure for carbon C?

Answer 1

im almost positive that you would use 10 electrons.

carbon has 4 valence electrons but since you have to that makes eight, and then of course the 1 valence for each of the hydrogen atoms, 2, so that gives you ten

Answer 2

four since there are four valence electrons

Answer 3

In a Lewis structure for carbon (C), you would draw 4 dots. Each dot represents a valence electron of the carbon atom. Carbon has 4 valence electrons.

Answer 4

4
