2, 4 (2 electrons in the K shell, 4 in the L shell). Valence Electrons: 4. 2. Covalent Bonding in Carbon
Carbon compounds exhibit distinct physical properties that differentiate them from ionic compounds:
(Cation): Removing four electrons requires a massive amount of energy, making the resulting ion highly unstable. 3. Properties of Carbon Compounds
