☺ Hello mate__ ❤

◾◾here is your answer...

The two features of carbon that give rise to a large number of compounds are as follows:

(i) Catenation − catenation is a ability by which , carbon form bond with other carbon atom.

(ii) Tetravalency − With the valency of four, carbon is capable of bonding with four other atoms.
