This question seems a bit unclear. Perhaps it meant something like: "how many electrons can be shared with carbon atoms?"

Anyway, a carbon atom can share 4 electrons with other atoms, including other carbon atoms.

How many electrons will one carbon atom share?

One carbon atom will typically share electrons with four other atoms to complete its outer electron shell, achieving a stable configuration. This enables it to form up to four covalent bonds with other atoms.


How many valence electrons can carbon share?

Carbon can share up to 4 valence electrons. This allows it to form stable covalent bonds with other atoms to achieve a full outer shell of electrons.

If two carbon atoms are attached by a single covalent bond how many elections do they share?

A single covalent bond is two electrons. It's also known as a "shared pair" of electrons.


How many electrons do carbon atoms always share?

They have 4. They "want" to share 8, but they don't always get to do so. Carbon monoxide is the best example of incomplete combustion.

What characteristic of carbon atoms allows the formation of all of these compounds?

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell (outershell). Since this energy shell can hold eight electrons, each carbon atom can share electrons with up to four different atoms. Carbon can combine with other elements as well as with itself. This allows carbon to form many different compounds.
