Having 4 valence electrons in a shell that holds 8 , carbon would have to donate
or accept 4 electrons to complete its valence shell and become an ion . Instead ,
a carbon atom usually completes its valence shell by sharing its 4 electrons with

As you may recall from Chapter 2 , these models allow us to see the valences of
carbon and its most frequent partners — oxygen , hydrogen , and nitrogen . We
can think of these valences as the basis for the rules of covalent bonding in ...
