Question

How many valence electrons does a carbon have?

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4

hintHint:

Valence electrons are the electrons of the outermost shell.

The correct answer is: 4


    • The atomic number of carbon is 6. This means it has 6 electrons.
    • Electrons are arranged in the shells following the principle of electron filling.
    • The arrangement of electrons in carbon looks like 2,4.
    • Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell. In carbon number of valence electrons is 4.
