Question

assertion carbon has a strong tendency to either gain or lose electrons to attain noble gas configuration
Reason carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell and has a tendency to share electrons with carbon or other elements.
Can someone tell me whats the ryt answer for this. ​

Answer 1

The assertion is false but the reason is true.

Explanation:

• Carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell and has a tendency to share electrons with carbon or other elements.
• Carbon shows 4 valency which means it has the tendency to form four covalent bonds with other elements.
• Carbon can only share an electron to form hydrocarbon compounds.  
• It combines with four hydrogen atoms to form an alkane, called methane i.e CH4.

Answer 2

Answer:

HELLO DEAR,

Assertion is false ,because carbon does gain or electron to gain noble gas configuration.

Explanation:

Reason is true, because carbon show the property of catanation.

Its have four valence electron ,by which it share their electron with other valence shell of atoms to complete its octate.

I HOPE IT HELP YOU DEAR,

THANKS.
