【】How many energy Levels does carbon have?
How many energy Levels does carbon have? Answer: In ground state, carbon has two energy levels which are 1st energy level( 1s² )and second energy level(2s²2p²).In case of carbon,1st energy level holds two electrons and 2nd energy level holds 4 electrons. Explanation: The atomic number of carbon is 6.So the electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p². From the electron configuration of carbon, we see that we need to distribute electrons to 2nd energy level.So we can say that in ground state carbon has two energy levels. Carbon is an element of second period.So, it will have two energy levels.Each energy level can hold 2n² electrons.
