There are six electrons in two shells.In order to stable carbon, it take electrons from nearest noble gas to stable the carbon.It order to stable carbon it gain -4 electrons from the nearest noble gas Neon.
An atom with 2 electrons would be helium, an atom with 8 electrons would be oxygen, and an atom with 6 electrons would be carbon.
negative ion
Electrons are found outside the nucleus of the atom and they have negative charge.
If the atom has more electrons than protons than the atom will be negative.
All electrons in every atom are located around the nucleus. In carbon atoms there are two electrons in the first principal energy level and four in the second.
An atom with 2 electrons would be helium, an atom with 8 electrons would be oxygen, and an atom with 6 electrons would be carbon.
negative ion
A neutral atom of carbon has 6 protons and 6 electrons. This is because in a neutral atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge), balancing each other out.
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
6 electrons
An atom of carbon with an atomic number of 6 will have 6 electrons. The notation 12C1- indicates the isotope carbon-12 with a single negative charge, so the neutral atom would have 6 electrons while the negatively charged ion would have gained an extra electron giving it a total of 7 electrons. The correct answer is C, 7 electrons.
The neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons.
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. carbon has 4 valence electrons.
since electrons are negative, you would subtract one from the original charge of the atom. For example, is the atom was neutral, the charge would then be 1-
An atom is negative when there are more electrons which gives it that negative charge. An atom is positive when there are less electrons than protons.
It would have a negative charge. It would be a negative ion with a 2+ charge.Remember: when an atom gains electrons they become NEGATIVE.when an atom loses electrons they become POSITIVE.
only the electrons have a negative charge but they go around the nucleus
