Acarbon atom has six electrons. how are these electrons shared in its atomic orbital shells?
a. the inner shell contains two electrons and the
b. outer shell contains four electrons.
c. the inner shell contains four electrons and the outer shell contains two electrons .
both shells contain three electrons each.

The carbon atom has  2 electrons in its inner shell and 4 electrons in the outer shell.

Carbon is a chemical element  with atomic number 6,  and the symbol C. The word carbon comes from a Latin word carbo, which means coal.

Because of its willingness to form compounds more than any other element, it forms a larger number of compounds than any other element. It easily bonds with non-metallic elements and du to this, it is often termed as the building block of life.

Even though it forms many different compounds, relatively it is a non-reactive element

sodium i think the chemical element of atomic number 11, a soft silver-white reactive metal of the alkali metal group.

the correct answer is 2 and 4
