How many valence electrons does carbon have available for bonding to other atoms

1 answer:

5 0

Carbon has 4 valence electrons and can thus bond to 4 other atoms. Thats why it is called tetravelent. (2 electrons from the 2s orbital and 2 electrons from the 2p orbital contribute to a sp3 valence hybridization allowing carbon to form 4 bonds)
