How many electrons a carbon atom share with other carbon atoms in formation of acetylene molecule? |
|
Answer» Each carbon atom in ethane forms four single bonds, one to each of three hydrogen atoms and one to the neighboring carbon atom. HOWEVER, in some ORGANIC molecules, a carbon atom shares two or three pairs of electrons with ANOTHER BONDED atom. if two electrons pairs are shared, a DOUBLE bond exists. |
