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
Four valence electrons as the electronic configuration of carbon is 2,4.
Carbon is almost always with only 1 or 2 exceptions, valence 4.
valence electrons in carbon
Carbon has 4 valence electrons.
Carbon has four valence electrons.
Carbon atom shows the valency of 4.
4
4
The valance energy level contains 4 electrons in carbon.
Iodine has 7 valance electrons
Since carbon has 4 valance electrons, if it shares all 4, it then has a full outer shell of 8 electrons, which is a stable configuration, in accordance with the octet rule.
No it doesn't, it has four electrons in its valance shell, which is why it has a valance of four, which is to say, it typically forms four bonds. In carbon dioxide, for example, a carbon aton has double bonds with each of two oxygen atoms, hence four bonds in total. In methane, a carbon atom has a single bond with each of four hydrogen atoms, hence four bonds again. There are also two electrons in the inner, or non-valance shell. So, six electrons in total. But only four in the valance shell.
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 has 4 valence electrons
4
4 valence electrons dude!
The valance energy level contains 4 electrons in carbon.
No you happy people.
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
2 valance electrons
There are 27 valance electrons.
