Question

18. Explain the various factors for the formation of large number
of carbon compounds

Answer 1

Carbon forms large number of compound due to following reasons: 1. Catenation: The unique property of the 'C' element to be able to form continuous links with other 'C' atoms through covalency called catenation, is one reason for the existence of a large number of organic compounds.....

hope it helpsto you....tq mate

Answer 2

The following factors

• Catenation: Two carbon atoms are readily form covalent bond and this bond is more stable than the bond formed by the other elememts
• Carbon atom have varying bond order and hybridisation
• Tetravalency: carbon readily form covalent bond with the other atoms
