Question

Carbon has 4 electron in its value shell which type of the compound can be formed by the carbon atoms and why give an example of it

Answer 1

It can fir covalent compound because it is tetravalen t valence electron 4 . It can neither lose nor gain so by sharing electrons it atain stability

Answer 2

Carbon has 4 electrons so it can nether lose nor gain 4 electrons to complete its octet due to energy consideratioms. Therefore it forms covalent compound by sharing of electrons. Examples are CH4 (methane) where carbon complete its octet and hydrogen its duplet.
