How many valence electrons does Carbon have?

Back

Carbon has 4 valence electrons.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.

Front

What is a molecule?

Back
