Carbon will have 4 valence electrons.  It will have 2 in the p orbital and 2 in the s orbital.  You can see this when you find the noble gas configuration of carbon which is [He]2s²2p² showing that carbon has 4 valence electrons.
I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

astraxan [27]

Answer: The reaction is endothermic.

Explanation:

Endothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is absorbed from the surrounding. In the endothermic reaction, the reactant have less energy than the energy of products

In endothermic reaction, enthalpy terms is located on the reactant side.

Example: A+B+energy\rightarrow C+D

Exothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is released into the surrounding. In the exothermic reaction, the energy of reactants are more than the energy of products

In exothermic reaction, enthalpy terms is located on the product side.

Example: A+B\rightarrow C+D+energy

How does calcium and potassium react differently with water and why
tester [92]
Calcium with water:
When a metal reacts with water( cold water or hot water) then the products formed are metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

Metal + steam --------> Metal hydroxide + Hydrogen

Calcium reacts with cold water to form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:

potassium with water.

Potassium reacts violently with cold water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:

2K(s)+ 2H2O(l) --------> 2KOH(aq) + H2(g) + heat.
In this reaction so much heat is produced get hydrogen gas formed catches fire and burns explosively.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:   Its so much larger because it has a core.

Explanation:

Jupiter is proven to have a core, the planet still could have formed that core through disk instability. Enough dust could have collected and cemented together in the dense gas to form a core many times larger than the size of the Earth
