Carbon forms four covalent bonds by sharing its four valence electrons with four univalent atoms, e.g. hydrogen. After the formation of four bonds, carbon attains the electronic configuration of 

(a) helium 

(b) neon 

(c) argon 

(d) krypton 

Answers (1)

Answer:(b)

Solution:

Electronic configuration of carbon (C) = 2, 4

When it forms four covalent bonds by sharing its four valence electrons with hydrogen, it forms CH4

So it has total 10 electrons which is configuration of Neon.

Therefore, option (b) is correct.
