As carbon belongs to IV-A group of the Periodic Table, therefore it has four electrons in its outermost shell.
There are four valence electrons because it is in 4A row. 5A 5 valence 6A 6 valence etc. Carbon has four.
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
A complete valence shell holds 8 electrons. This is known as the octet rule, and atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full valence shell.
Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer energy level or shell.
A carbon needs 8 electrons to have a solid shell so it usually form 4 other bonds to combine with the 4 electrons it already has
No. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell (valence shell).

Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.
Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the valence shell.
carbon has totally six electrons. Out of these, four electrons are in the valence shell or the outer most shell.
Yes, carbon has 4 valence electrons in its outer shell.
Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell. To fill its outer shell, carbon needs 4 more electrons to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons.
Aluminum has three electrons in its valence shell.
A complete valence shell holds 8 electrons. This is known as the octet rule, and atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full valence shell.
