Answer 2

Explanation:

1. Covalent bond is a bound which is formed by the sharing of electrons in the outermost shell of carbon atom, there are four electrons left which are called valence electrons.valence electrons determine the valency of an atom. it requires large amount of energy to lose or gain four electrons..i.e carbon is tetravalent so carbon prefers to share electrons rather than to lose or gain.. u can say that it is friendly in nature..since it shares electrons..since it shares electrons it forms covalent bonds. other reason behind dis is that it has catenation property..i.e it has property of forming long chains..carbon chain can be made up of 60 carbon atoms together..
