Its usually +4. Think CO2, O is always -2 which means 2 x -2 = -4, so the C needs to be +4 to balance the -4. But you can also have CO, where the C is +2, and rarely +3. Now the second part of your question asks about electropositive vs electronegative, which is not the same as valence. Carbon is a non-metal and very slightly electronegative. It forms covalent bonds but can not acquire sufficient electrons to form negative ions. Hope that helps!

How many valence elcetonrs does carbon have?
Carbon has 4 valence electrons.
Does carbon have three electrons in its valence shells yes or no?
No. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell (valence shell).
How many valence electrons does Carbon-11 have?
4 valence electrons
How many valence electrons are in ci4?
CI4, or carbon tetraiodide, contains one carbon atom and four iodine atoms. Carbon has 4 valence electrons, while each iodine atom has 7 valence electrons. Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CI4 is 4 (from carbon) + 4 × 7 (from iodine) = 4 + 28 = 32 valence electrons.
What is the valance number for carbon?
The valence number for carbon is 4. This means that carbon can form up to four bonds with other atoms.
What is the number of valence electrons for carbon?

What is the number electrons in the valence shell in carbon?
There are four valence electrons because it is in 4A row. 5A 5 valence 6A 6 valence etc. Carbon has four.
How many valence electrons does a nitrogen atom have then a carbon atom?
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. carbon has 4 valence electrons.
Is carbon valence 4?
Yes, carbon has 4 valence electrons in its outer shell.
How many valence electrons in C6?
A carbon atom has 4 valence electrons. So, for a C6 molecule, there will be a total of 6 carbon atoms, and each carbon atom will contribute 4 valence electrons, giving a total of 24 valence electrons in the C6 molecule.
What element in the carbon family has 4 valence electrons?

How many valence electrons does carbon disulfide have?
c=4 valence electrons S=6 valence electrons but since its S2 you times 6 by 2=12 12+4=16 16 valence electrons total for CS2
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
