C2 does not follow the VSEPR theory here. Carbon cannot have lone pairs and quadruple bonds do not exist. C2 DOES however exist. It has a bond order of 2 and it exists in the gas phase.

The Lewis dot structure of C2H4 (ethylene) shows two carbon atoms double-bonded to each other, with each carbon atom also bonded to two hydrogen atoms. This arrangement satisfies the octet rule for each atom, achieving stability.

The structure would be C with a double bond to C. Each one of the C's have two dots on the top and bottom with a H bond on the end. So there would be 4 H's.
