Carbon:-
atomic no:-6
valency:-4
carbon is non -metal
electronic configuration:-2,4
carbon is the only atom who can shares it's electons .
carbon can neither take 4 electrons nor except 4 electrons .
becuse of two reasons
carbon is veey small atom so, it's too difficult for carbon to gave it's 4 electrons becuse it need much energy to loss 4 electons.
and it can't accept 4 electons because it's too difficult for 6 protons to hold 10 electrons
so carbon can only shares it's electons.
