Question

basic information about carbon and it's compounds also want information about it's chemical properties

Answer 1

Compounds of carbon are defined as chemical substances containing carbon. More compounds of carbon exist than any other chemical element except for hydrogen. Organic carbon compounds are far more numerous than inorganic carbon compounds. In general bonds of carbon with other elements are covalent bonds. Carbon is tetravalent but carbon free radicals and carbenes occur as short-lived intermediates. Ions of carbon are carbocations and carbanions are also short-lived. An important carbon property is catenation as the ability to form long carbon chains and rings.

Answer 2

carbon belongs to group 16 in periodic table.
it shows tetravalency(can make 4 bonds),catenation (can make chain of carbon atoms).
most carbon compounds with hydrogen (except HCO3^-)are included in organic chemistry
