Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon has 2 electrons in K-shell and 4 electrons in the L-shell which is an outermost shell. Therefore, the number of valence electrons is 4.
Detailed explanation-2: -Four covalent bonds. Carbon has four valence electrons and here a valence of four. Each hydrogen atom has one valence electron and is univalent.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the valency of carbon? Explanation: Carbon has four valence electrons in its outermost shell. Thus, its valency is four.
Detailed explanation-4: -Remember, a carbon atom has 6 electrons, 2 in the inner orbit, 4 in the outer orbit.
Detailed explanation-5: -By forming four covalent bonds, carbon shares four pairs of electrons, thus filling its outer energy level and achieving stability. Carbon is a nonmetal in group of the periodic table. Carbon is a nonmetal in group 14 of the periodic table. Like other group 14 elements, carbon has four valence electrons.
