Question

if carbon cannot gain electron because it becomes difficult for proton to control 10 electron then how other elements are able to do so . plzz i have this doubt in chemistry​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbon cannot gain or lose electrons. Carbon cannot form C4- because If it gains 4 electrons, it would be difficult for the nucleus with six protons to hold on to ten electrons, that is, four extra electrons.

Carbon cannot form C4+ because if it loses 4 electrons, it would require a large amount of energy to remove 4 electrons leaving behind a carbon cation with six protons in its nucleus holding on to just 2 electrons. Carbon overcomes this problem by sharing its valence electrons with other atoms of carbon or with atoms of other elements.

Answer 2

Explanation:

CARBON DO NOT TRANSFER OR RECIEVE ELECTRON IT JUST SHARE ELECTORN TO COMPLETE ITS OCTET AS EVERY ELEMENT WANTS TO COMPLETE OCTET AND BECOME STABLE. BUT CARBON CANNOT DO IT BECAUSE IT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY TO GAIN OR TRANSFER 4 ELECTRONS TO COMPLETE ITS OCTET WHILE OTHER ELEMENTS ONLY HAVE TO TRANSFER OR GAIN 1, 2,3 ELECTRON WHICH REQUIRES LESS ENERGY AS COMPARED TO CARBON
