【】How Many Electrons Does Carbon(C) Have?

Answer:

Carbon has six electrons.

Explanation:

Now I would like to show you how many electrons a carbon has in just three steps.

             Step-1:

First,we need to look for the symbol for carbon in the  periodic table.

From periodic table,we see that the symbol for carbon is C.

                Step-2:

From periodic table ,we observe that the atomic number of carbon is 6.

                 Step-3:

We know that the atomic number of carbon is 6.This means that we have 6 protons. The charge of proton is +1.On the other hand,  the charge of electron is -1.

So for neutral carbon, we have   six negative charges which are electrons.


Therefore,the number of electrons in carbon is 6.

                Step-4:

Now we do electron configuration of carbon .

C(6)=1s²2s²2p²

💝In carbon

◆1s subshell holds two electrons

◆2s subshell holds two electrons

◆2p  subshell holds two electrons

Totally,we are getting six electrons in carbon.
