Question
Covalency of carbon in the 
molecule is three because
- An unexcited carbon atom has two upaired electrons
- The carbon atom can be an acceptor of an electron pair
- The carbon atom has four valence electrons
- Maximum covalency of carbon is three
The correct answer is: The carbon atom can be an acceptor of an electron pair
