How does the number of valence electrons that carbon has affect the number of bonds that carbond can form?

if the number of electrons are greater in energy levels or shell so greater will be the nuclear attraction because of greater nuclear attraction the atom will be greatly able to attract other atoms towards their self and easily form bond between them..

How many electrons does carbon share to complete its valence shell?
Carbon has 4 valence electrons. It needs four more to form the octet. So carbon will share four electrons
What is carbon 60?
an atom with 6o valence electrons
How is selenium similar to sulfur?
yes, an oxygen atom have the same number of valence electrons as a selenium atom.
Most carbon compounds are formed by sharing electrons with carbon?
Yes, true. Carbon has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, it is harder to to lose and gain 4 electrons. So it simply shares.
How many more electrons does an atom of carbon need to complete its valence shell?
Carbon needs 4 valence electrons to satisfy it's outer energy level.
What is the number of valence electrons for carbon?
4 electrons
How many valence electrons does a nitrogen atom have then a carbon atom?
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. carbon has 4 valence electrons.
Does carbon have three electrons in its valence shells yes or no?
No, carbon has 4 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons does carbn have?
carbon has 4 valence electrons
How many valence electrons in C6?

Rank the element carbon sodium calcium and iodine in order of decreasing number of valence electrons?
The order is: Iodine (7 valence electrons) Carbon (4 valence electrons) Calcium (2 valence electrons) Sodium (1 valence electron)
What is the valance of electrons in carbon?
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
How many valence does a carbon atom have?
Carbon has four valence electrons. Each of theseelectrons can pair with an electron from another atom to form a strong covalent bond. In carbon, all the electrons with the principal quantum number 2 are valence electrons, but the two electrons with principal quantum number 1 are not.
What is the number of carbon electrons?
Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the valence shell.
Is carbon valence 4?
Yes, carbon has 4 valence electrons in its outer shell.
