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

Chemistry

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.

The first blank can be filled with the Heliocentric model, and the second blank can be filled with Copernicus.  

The heliocentric model known as heliocentrism was proposed by the Renaissance astronomer, mathematician, and the Catholic cleric Nicolaus Copernicus resulting in the Copernican revolution.  

It is the astronomical model, in which the planets and the Earth revolve around the Sun positioned at the middle of the Solar system. Factually, the heliocentric model was in contrast to geocentrism, in which Earth is positioned at the center of the Solar system.

How many electrons do nonmetals atoms tend to gain when forming ions
amm1812
Since nonmetals have five, six, or seven electrons in their valence shells, it takes less energy to gain the necessary electrons, and therefore form anions.
