Question

The valency for the carbon is ______.

  1. 2
  2. 4
  3. 6
  4. 3

hintHint:

The number of electrons in the last shell is called the valence electrons.

The correct answer is: 4


    The correct option is b)4.
    The valence of carbon is 4 and a carbon atom can form 4 covalent bonds. A property of an element that determines how many other atoms an atom of the element can bond with. The electrons in the last shell are called valence electrons and the number of these electrons determines the valence of the compound. So carbon has a valence of 4.
