How many valence electrons does carbon have
2 answers:
Answer:
Carbon has 4 valence electrons
Explanation:
The valence electrons are those found in the last energy level of the atom.
They are responsible for the interaction between atoms,
they can form bonds.
Let's see the <em>electronic configuration</em> of carbon.
The atomic number of C is 6 (Z=6)
To know the number of valence electrons that we have we count in the last energy level of the atom.
The last energy level of carbon is 2 and we 4 electrons is this level.
So carbon has 4 valence electrons.

1. Synthesis Reaction: In this type of reaction multiple reactant combine to form a single product.
2. Decomposition Reaction: In this type of reaction single compound or reactant break down into new elements or compounds.
3. Replacement Reaction: In this type of reaction an element replace an element in a compound.
4. Even hydrogen is not a metal but it can act as metal in single replacement reaction.
5. In combustion reaction fuel react with oxygen and give heat and light that increase temperature of surrounding.
6. In in-complete combustion reaction fuel react with in-sufficient oxygen and give carbon monoxide and carbon in form of soot.
7. Base is a compound that liberate OH⁻ ion in water.
8. indicators have different color in acid and base depends on pH of the solution
9. Salt and water are the product of neutralization reaction
