Question

what is valency of carbon and how ?
plz ans it and ❌don't spam ❌​

Answer 1

Answer:

➡↪Carbon has four valence electrons and here a valence of four.

__☺To complete the octate, either carbon gains four electrons or loose four electrons.

However, if Carbon gains electrons then it would be hard for the nucleus to hold four additional electrons as carbon atom is very small in size.

If Carbon losses its electrons then it required a large amount of energy to remove four electrons of the nucleus.

Carbon makes four covalent bonds and attains the noble gas configuration by sharing it’s valence electrons.

Answer 2

Explanation:

We know that the valence shell can hold 8 electrons, and since 4 are already there, it can hold 4 more. Valency is defined as the tendency of an atom to accept or donate electrons. We also know that carbon needs 4 more electrons to reach a stable octet configuration. Therefore, the valency of carbon is 4.
