Answer:
Valence Electrons
Explanation:
Say you are looking at a neutrally charged carbon atom, it has 6 electrons. The first electron shell can hold 2 electrons. The next can hold 8, the next can hold 8 and the next can hold ten and so on... Well in the Carbon atom case, it has 6 electrons, 6-2 is 4, so the carbon atom at 4 valence electrons, which actually helps it in making organic molecules, which in turn also helps make something you might have heard of before, organisms, the best example being, humans
