Question

carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell. how does it attainstable electronic configuration​

Answer 1

Answer:

It will loose 4 electrons or take four electrons from others to attain stable electronic configuration as neon ( 2,8)

Answer 2

Explanation:

Carbon shares its electrons with other atoms to get a stable electronic configuration. It cannot lose or gain electrons because it needs a large amount of energy to lose or gain 4 electrons
