How many valence electrons does carbon have?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4

Carbon has atomic number 6 and the electronic configuration 2, 4. Hence, its outermost shell contains 4 electrons, which are called valence electrons. The other 2 electrons are in the inner K shell, so 2 is not the correct answer. Exam tip: To find valence electrons, count the electrons in the outermost shell of the electronic configuration.
