One carbon atom will share four electrons.
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.
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. carbon has 4 valence electrons.
A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds. This is because carbon has four valence electrons, which it can share with other atoms through covalent bonding to achieve a full outer shell of electrons.
In all there are 6 electrons, but the electrons are distributed over 2 shells. In the first shell, there are 2 electrons, and in the second there are 4 electrons. Note that this applies to the neutral atom of carbon.

there are 12 electrons in carbon. you can find this out by looking at the "ATOMIC NUMBER"
A carbon-12 atom has 6 electrons. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which determines the number of electrons in a neutral carbon atom.

Carbon IS an atom. I presume you mean how many electrons there are. There are 6 electrons, 6 protons and 6 neutrons in every un-bonded Carbon atom.
6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom
