Question

a) State two properties of Carbon
which lead to a very large number of carbon
compounds.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. catenation:- it is the ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon

2. tetravalency:-with the valency of four carbon is capable of bonding with four other atoms

Answer 2

Answer:

✦✧✧ HOLA ♥️ ✧✧✦

Explanation:

♣️ Catenation :

Carbon is the only element that

can form so many different compounds because

each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to

other atoms and because the carbon atom is just

the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts

of very large molecules. This property is called the

catenation.

♣️ Valency of Carbon is four :

Carbon has six electrons. Since,it has 4 valence

electrons, it's valency is four. So it can form 4 covalent

bonds with atoms.
