Question

27. (a) State two main reasons for carbon forming a very large number of compounds
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Catenation power : Carbon can form a number of compounds with other carbon atoms and form large molecules.

2. tetravalency : it can form bonds with 4 atoms at a time .

3. isomerism : can form compounds having similar molecular formula but different structural formula.

4. it can form single , double and triple bonds.

Answer 2

Carbon forms a large number of compounds because:
1. Catenation: carbon has the unique ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon, giving rise to large molecules. This property is called catenation.
2. Tetra valency : Carbon has a valency of four, it's capable of bonding with other four atoms of carbon or atoms of some other monovalent element.
