Answer:

As in all its compounds and its elemental forms, carbon is tetravalent, which means that it always forms four bonds. Carbon has a total of six electrons, two of which are in a filled (1s) quantum shell, and four valence electrons; it is these valence electrons that can take part in bonding.
