Question

carbon forms covalent compound justify this statement​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons. They don't have a free electron that is required for electricity transfer (electricity is the flow of free electrons), thus they are bad conductors.

2. Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points because they have weak inter-molecular forces between bonds. Hence,  less energy/temperature is needed to break the bonds.

Answer 2

carbon is tetracalent.due to the property of cantination carbon forms covalent compound and it has a valency of 4 so carbon can neither gain 4 electrons nor lose.
