Question

what is the valency of carbon in its compound​

Answer 1

Answer:

The valency of carbon is four and one atom of carbon can make four covalent bonds. The branch of organic chemistry deals with the compounds of carbon. Due to the specific properties of the element, Carbon has established its importance among the other elements.

Answer 2

The valency of carbon in its compound is 4.

Detailed answer

Valency is defined as the combining power of an element, so in the case of carbon, it is the combining power of carbon.

• The valency of carbon can be easily found by just finding the number of electrons that are present in the outermost shell of the atom.
• So we know that in the outermost shell of carbon there are 4 valence electrons so their valency is 4.
• And we know that carbon is tetravalent so that means 4 so the valency is 4.
