3 Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell. Which type of compounds can be formed bcarbon atom and why ? Give any one example of such compounds. |

Answer» Carbon and its compounds form covalent bonds which are formed by sharing of electrons among same or different molecules. For example: Methane: Carbon has four un-shared electrons in its valence shell. To complete its octet, carbon needs four more electrons. This is donated by four other hydrogen atoms, forming four covalent bonds. |
