What is the total number of valence electrons in a carbon atom in the ground state

1 answer:

6 0

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.

A sample of carbon-12 has a mass of 6.00 g. How many atoms of carbon-12 are in the sample?

Serjik [45]

mC: 12g/mol

12g ------- 6,02·10²³ a.
6g --------- X
X = (6×6,02·10²³)/12
X = 3,01·10²³ atoms
