Detailed Solution

  • Six electrons, six protons, and six neutrons make up the atom of carbon, a non-metal.
  • The carbon atom's electronic configuration is (2,4).
  • It has a valency of four because it needs four extra electrons to reach its closest configuration as a noble gas.
  • The entire mass of protons and neutrons in an element's atom, denoted in 'u,' is known as the element's atomic mass. As a result, carbon has an atomic number of 12 U rather than 14 U.
