Question

In a $C^{-4}$, its very difficult for 6 protons to hold 10 electrons.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

In a case of $C^{-4}$, the number of electrons in the outer most orbit is 8. Thus the total number of electrons including 2 electrons in the inner orbit is 10. But the number of protons still remains the same .i.e. 6. Thus it becomes difficult for 6 protons to hold back 10 electrons.
