carbon chemically bonds with another element in group 4, because it has 4 electrons in it's outer shell (that shell half complete) and needs 4 more so it could bond with 4 elements in group 1, 2 in group 2 ect... or it could bond with 1 in group 4 which would use the least amount of energy :) this was answered by a 14 year old ;)

carbon needs 4 to become stable (that is C4) :) this was answered by a 12-year-old ;)

How does carbon atom become stable?

The only way a carbon atom becomes stable is if they gain or lose electrons. Typically carbon will bond with other elements to do this.

What kind of bond exists between carbon atom and chlorine atom?

A covalent bond exists between a carbon atom and a chlorine atom when they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Chlorine is more electronegative than carbon, so the shared electrons are pulled closer to the chlorine atom.


How many covalent bonds can a carbon atom from to become stable?

4


what combination of carbon and oxygen atoms is stable?

The most stable combination of carbon and oxygen atoms is carbon dioxide (CO2). Each carbon atom forms a double bond with two oxygen atoms, resulting in a stable molecule with a linear geometry.


How many more electrons does an atom of carbon need to complete its valence shell?

An atom of carbon needs 4 more electrons to complete its valence shell, which can hold a total of 8 electrons. Carbon has 4 valence electrons and tends to form 4 covalent bonds to achieve a full valence shell configuration.


What type of bond is formed between a carbon atom and an sulfur atom?

A covalent bond is formed between a carbon atom and a sulfur atom. Both atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What is the neutron to proton ratio in a stable form of carbon 12?

It is a 1:1 ratio because in a Carbon-12 atom there are 6 neutrons and 6 protons.


Which carbocation is the most stable?

The most stable carbocation is the tertiary carbocation, which has three alkyl groups attached to the positively charged carbon atom.


Which type of bond exists between an atom of carbon and an atom of fluorine?

A covalent bond exists between an atom of carbon and an atom of fluorine. In this type of bond, the atoms share a pair of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


How many bonds does carbon need to form to be a stable compound?

The strongest and most stable bonds involve carbon (C) to carbon bonds. C in sp, sp2, and sp3 hybridization, that is single, double and triple bonds, are the most stable.


How does a carbon dioxide molecule have a stable set of 8 valence electrons for each atom?

Carbon dioxide is a molecular compound with covalent bonds. This means that the oxygen and carbon atoms share electrons so that each atom has a stable octet. Molecular compounds exist only between non-metals.
