No, the energies of electrons in a carbon atom are quantized, which means they can only take on specific, predetermined values. These energy levels are determined by the configuration of the atom and are restricted to specific discrete values dictated by the laws of quantum mechanics.
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
Solar flares are primarily composed of high-energy particles such as electrons, protons, and heavier ions. While carbon can be present in the solar atmosphere (chromosphere), it is not a dominant element in solar flares due to the extreme temperatures and energies involved.
No. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell (valence shell).
Carbon has 4 outermost electrons.

Fluorine will attract electrons more strongly than carbon. This is because fluorine has a higher electronegativity value, meaning it has a greater ability to attract and hold onto electrons compared to carbon.
Carbon has a larger atomic radius than oxygen because carbon has more energy levels/shells of electrons, leading to a greater distance between the nucleus and the outermost electrons. Additionally, oxygen has a higher effective nuclear charge (due to more protons) pulling its electrons closer, while carbon's electrons experience less attraction due to shielding effects from inner electrons.

if its not an ion it has 6
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
4 electrons
Chlorine is more electronegative than carbon. Chlorine has a higher electronegativity value on the Pauling scale, indicating its greater ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond compared to carbon.
A neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons.
A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons.
there are 12 electrons in carbon. you can find this out by looking at the "ATOMIC NUMBER"
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.
