Carbon has four valence electrons in the n = 2 energy level. An electron is transferred from the filled 2s orbital to an unoccupied 2p orbital. The energy gap between the n = 1 and n = 2 is large and no further electrons can, therefore, be promoted from lower energy levels to facilitate more bonds. All of the reasons given above explain the observation. Question 4: Select the structures in Figure 4 that are drawn correctly * II ...arrow_forward
