A nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons, while a carbon atom has 4 valence electrons.
In all there are 6 electrons, but the electrons are distributed over 2 shells. In the first shell, there are 2 electrons, and in the second there are 4 electrons. Note that this applies to the neutral atom of carbon.
There is one covalent bond in carbon monoxide. The bond is between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom, formed by the sharing of electrons.
A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons.
The carbon atom in CO2 has 4 valence electrons. Each oxygen atom in CO2 adds 6 valence electrons, for a total of 16 valence electrons for the entire molecule.
A carbon atom with the symbol 12C has 6 electrons since the atomic number of carbon is 6, indicating the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom are the same.
A nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons, while a carbon atom has 4 valence electrons.
there are 12 electrons in carbon. you can find this out by looking at the "ATOMIC NUMBER"
A carbon-12 atom has 6 electrons. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which determines the number of electrons in a neutral carbon atom.
6
Carbon IS an atom. I presume you mean how many electrons there are. There are 6 electrons, 6 protons and 6 neutrons in every un-bonded Carbon atom.
6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom
In all there are 6 electrons, but the electrons are distributed over 2 shells. In the first shell, there are 2 electrons, and in the second there are 4 electrons. Note that this applies to the neutral atom of carbon.
An electrically neutral carbon atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons: 6, which is equal to its atomic number.
6 electrons
There is one covalent bond in carbon monoxide. The bond is between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom, formed by the sharing of electrons.
A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons.
