Question

What is the valency of carbon in ch3-ch3, ch2=ch2 and hc=ch?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello here is your answer!!

The valency is 4 whether it is saturated or unsaturated.

Answer 2

The valency of carbon in ch3-ch3, ch2=ch2 and hc=ch is 4

Explanation:

• Carbon is tetravalent.
• The Carbon atom has four electrons in its outermost valence shell.
• It needs four more electrons to complete its octet,hence its valency is 4.
• According to its electronic configuration, it has 2 electrons in K shell and two in L shell
• Electrons present in the outermost shell are the number of valence electrons and thus it is its valence.
• Its valency is also called covalency.
