How many electrons does carbon lack in its outer shell? biochemistry

1 answer:

7 0

A neutral carbon doesn't lack any electrons. It has exactly the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
However, it has four electrons in its outer shell in comparison with eight electrons for a noble gas.
In that sense, it needs four electrons to complete its second shell.<span />

The total charge of an atom comes from

Rus_ich [418]

The total charge on an atom comes from protons and electrons.

The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged. A neutral atom would have an equal number of protons and electrons.

An atom with more protons than electrons will be positively charged while those with more electrons than protons will be negatively charged.
