A carbon atom can form four covalent bonds. How many valance electrons does a carbon atom have?

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.

Do you have any options for this question?

Higher temperature = molecules move around faster. and vice versa.
