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.

How many electrons and protrons in a neutral atom of carbon?

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.

The atomic number of carbon is 6 How many electrons does an atom of carbon have if it is represented by the symbol as 12C1- A 5 electrons B 6 electrons C 7 electrons D 11 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.

What is the charge of an atom that gains an electron?

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-


When an atom is negative or positive?

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.


If oxygen gains 2 electrons what charge will it have?

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.
