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.

Answer:
Explanation:
BrCl₃ is an interhalogen compound with a hybridization of sp³d. The approximate bond angles can be predicted from the structure (attached below). Although, the lewis structure might be predicted to be trigonal bipyramidal from the structure, it is however a T-shaped geometry because of it's two lone pairs.
Also, from the structure attached, it can be predicted that the approximate bond angles about the central atom is 120° (360 ÷ 3) since each of the three chlorine atoms is equally spaced about the central atom.
