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

Chemistry
1 answer:
kolbaska11 [484]2 years ago
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.

Science, compare and contrast Quantitative and Qualitative observations
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Quantitative observation have accuracy over qualitative observation as in Quantitative observation data is recorded in terms of number .

Explanation:
Qualitative observations are descriptive observations that don't involve numbers. " The freezing point of water is colder than the boiling point " is an example. Quantitative observations are numerical measurements. "The freezing point of watrr is 0 c and boiling point is 100 c" is a quantitative observation.

What factor affects both kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of an object is also measured in joules. Anything that is moving has kinetic energy, but various factors affect how much kinetic energy an object has. The first factor is speed. If two identical objects are moving at different speeds, the faster object has more kinetic energy.  In physics, the kinetic energy  of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.

Unstable elements tend to combine with other elements to form
prisoha [69]

Answer: Compounds.

Explanation:

Compounds are formed when an unstable element combines with other elements, they do this by sharing electrons within their outmost shell. Compounds forms when there is a chemical bonding between two or more elements. Examples of compounds includes carbon dioxide (C, O) water (H and O), Sodium chloride (Na, Cl), methane, etc.
