About This Product
Showing the four valence electrons on the outer shell helps students understand why carbon forms four covalent bonds and how it builds the huge range of organic compounds. The model is used in chemistry classrooms, science labs and higher education as groundwork before hydrocarbon chains and molecular shapes. Laboratories and colleges in Belize, Moldova, Mexico, Niger and Mauritania can buy the Atomic Structure of Carbon Model through an export order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many electrons are in the outer shell of the carbon model?
Four. The inner shell holds two electrons and the outer valence shell holds four, out of 6 electrons in total.
