Question

If Carbon have 4 lone pair of electron so why atomic number of carbon is & 6. why it not 8.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon tends to form 4 bonds and have no lone pairs. Nitrogen tends to form three bonds and have on e lone pair. Oxygen tends to form two bonds and have two lone pairs. Fluorine (and all halogens) tends to form one bond and have 3 lone pairs.

Answer 2

Answer:

The nitrogen has five valence electrons. Here, only four are involved in the covalent binding of the -O, =O, and -OH. Only one of the two electrons involved in the covalent bonds belongs to the nitrogen. As there are only four covalente bonds, nitrogen is lacking one electron, therefore it is positively charg.
