Carbon has 4 outermost electrons.
4 extra electrons must be shared forming 4 covalent bonds or alternatively 4 more electrons are required to form the C4- ion.
The fourth outer energy level of an atom can contain a maximum of 32 electrons. This is because each energy level can hold a maximum of 2n^2 electrons, where n is the principal quantum number of the energy level. In this case, the fourth energy level has a principal quantum number of 4, so it can hold 2(4^2) = 32 electrons.
If one atom of oxygen has six electrons in its outer level, then there would be two electrons that are not in pairs. Oxygen atoms typically have a configuration of 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, and 4 electrons in the 2p orbital, with two of those 4 electrons being unpaired.
The maximum number of electrons that energy level 4 can hold is 32. This is determined by the formula (2n^2), where (n) is the principal quantum number corresponding to the energy level. For level 4, (n = 4), so (2(4^2) = 32). This includes electrons in the 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f subshells.
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
Carbon has 4 outermost electrons.
The valance energy level contains 4 electrons in carbon.
In the 3rd energy level, there can be a maximum of 4 electrons.

carbon has 2 electrons in its first energy level and 4 in its secound energy level because carbons atomic number is 6. 4+2=6.
In a neutral carbon atom, there will be 4 electrons in the outer most valence shell.

There is no third energy level of oxygen, there is only two. The second energy level has 6 electrons.
There are four electrons in the second energy level of carbon. Here's the electron configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p2 or [He] 2s2 2p2.
An energy level of n=4 can hold up to a maximum of 32 electrons. The maximum number of electrons that can occupy a specific energy level is given by 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number.
An element cannot have 4 electrons in the 2 s level. The s subshell can hold only TWO electrons. Carbon has 4 electrons in the 2p level, however, if that's what you meant.
