Carbon atoms have four valence electrons. Are they likely to react with other atoms, and why or why not?
▸ View Available Hint(s)
Yes, but only with other stable atoms.
Yes, because they can become more stable by doing so.
No, because they do not have enough valence electrons.
No, because they have an even number of valence electrons so they are already stable.
