Question

Carbon combines with other atoms by sharing electrons and attains the stable electronic configurations like

• A. noble gas
• B. neon
• C. argon
• D. noble metal

Answer 1

The correct option is B

neon

Carbon $\left(\mathrm{C}\right)$ can form millions of compounds due to its catenation property.

The covalency of the Carbon atom is four.

Carbon can form four bonds with other elements and attains its nearest stable noble gas configuration.

Neon $\left(\mathrm{Ne}\right)$ is a stable noble gas having an electronic configuration is $\left(1{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{p}}^6\right)$.

Carbon combines with other atoms by sharing electrons and attains stable electronic configurations like Neon.

Final answer:

Hence, option (C) is the correct option.
