Question
How many bonds can a carbon form when its electronic configuration is 2, 4?
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
Hint:
Carbon can share its electrons in valence shell to complete its octet.
The correct answer is: 4
- Carbon has 6 electrons and 4 electrons are in valence shell, 4 more electrons are required to complete its octet and achieve stability.
- It can share each of its four electrons to form 4 covalent bonds as in the case of CH4 where each hydrogen atom shares its electron with one electron of carbon.
