Answer:
a) Because carbon has tetravalency.
b) It is because of its catenation property.
Explanation:
a) Carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell as a result of which it can neither donate nor gain electrons and hence it forms covalent bonding by sharing electrons.
b) Catenation is the property to form long straight, branched or cyclic chains
