The answer is true. One neutral atom of carbon has four valence electrons.
An easy way of finding out is to check out the periodic table and look at which main number group the element is in. Carbon is in group number four, which would mean it has four valence electrons.
Hope I was able to help!
The atomic structure of the atom contains 9 positively charged particles (protons) and 10 neutrally charged particles (neutrons) in the center of the atom in a clump called the nucleus. Those 9 negatively charged particles (electrons) are moving around outside of the nucleus.
There are 10 neutral charges, because the mass of 19 comes from the number of neutral charges plus the number of positive charges.
To calculate the number of neutral charges, subtract the positive charges from the mass (19 - 9), and you get the number of neutral charges (10).
