It has 4 valence electrons
Take carbon as an example.Carbon, indicated by it's atomic number, has 6 electrons. The number at the top of carbon's group is the number of valance electrons. Carbon has 4 valance elections.6 total electrons - 4 valance electrons= 2 core electrons in carbon=====================(try another element yourself to see this process )
It depends on which group you are talking about. The number of valance electron normally increase by one as you move right across the table. when you get to the transition metals however, the valance electron will vary.
six valence electrons
Good Question Valance electrons are simply the number of electrons in the outer shell of an atom. An easy way to figure this out is to look at the families (the vertical columns of the Periodic Table) and count over from left to right. The number in the ones place is the number of valance electrons that the element will have. The goal is usually to fill the number of valance electrons using the octet rule. The octet rule is filling it to its max so it becomes stable the number is usually eight. There are some exceptions such as helium which has two.
Carbon is a none metal element. atomic number of it is 6.

The Answer is 4.....!
No you happy people.
Seven
4 valence electrons dude!
one
Seven
4
By looking at the group number you can tell how many valance electrons there are ex: Group 1= 1 valance electrons Group 2-12= 2 valance electrons Group 13= 3 valance electrons Group 14= 4 valance electrons Group 15= 5 valance electrons Group 16= 6 valance electrons Group 17= 7 valance electrons Group 18= 8 valance electrons
No. Atomic number = number of protons
7 valence electrons
Almost anything except noble gasses, it has a valance of 4, the same as carbon.
