Question

d) Why Carbon does not exhibit C+ or c* valency?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Atomic number of carbon is six. ... The removal of four valence electrons will require a huge amount of energy and so it does not form C4+ cation, as the removal of four valence electrons will require a huge amount of energy. The cation formed will have six protons and two electrons. This makes it highly unstable.
