    Carbon has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom that can form chemical bonds. Carbon has 4 valence electrons in its outer shell, as represented in an electron dot diagram with 4 dots around the carbon symbol. Valence electrons determine an element's chemical properties.

    Valance electrons

    a valence electron is an electron in the outer shell associated


    with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a 
    chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed
    Valence electrons are those electrons that have the highest
    energy,the number of VE in each atom helps determine the
    chemical properties of that element.
    An electron dot diagram includes the symbol for the
    element surronded by dots, each dot stands for one
    valence electron.
