it is due to following reasons:
1) catenation : the self linking property of carbon with carbon - carbon atoms is known as catenation.
2) Tetravalency : carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell which helps it make large number of compounds by sharing of electrons.
3) Due to its small size it can form large number of compounds.
