False
gain 4 electrons:- Because the energy released (electron affinity) for the addition of four electrons is too high, Lose 4 electrons:- energy required to lose electrons (the sum of the first 4 ionization energies) is too high
Carbon has 4 outermost electrons.
Carbon would share electrons with the oxygen to form carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.
No, carbon has 4 valence electrons.

if its not an ion it has 6
if the number of electrons are greater in energy levels or shell so greater will be the nuclear attraction because of greater nuclear attraction the atom will be greatly able to attract other atoms towards their self and easily form bond between them..
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
A neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons.
4 electrons
Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the valence shell.
Carbon has 4 outermost electrons.
Carbon, as a non-metal wants to gain electrons to have 8 outer shell electrons. In its outer shell, carbon has 4 electrons. Therefore, a carbon ion picks up 4 electrons to become C-4
In all there are 6 electrons, but the electrons are distributed over 2 shells. In the first shell, there are 2 electrons, and in the second there are 4 electrons. Note that this applies to the neutral atom of carbon.
In the non-ionic form, carbon has 6 electrons.
