Answer 1

study next year ok close this question this is a very bad question happy new year in advance

Answer 2

Carbon in its various forms has been known since ancient times in the form of soot, charcoal, graphite and diamonds. Its name is derived from a Latin word “carbo” which means “charcoal”. Ancient cultures did not realize, of course, that these substances were different forms of the same element. Let us explore the versatile nature of carbon.But what makes Carbon such an interesting element can be directly attributed to its two unique properties, i.e. tetra-valency and catenation. It is because of these properties that the element has the capacity to form a large number of compounds.Not only is carbon the fourth most abundant element in the universe, it has so far more than three million compounds know to us till date.

The following is a deeper understanding of how these unique properties of tetra-valency and catenation result in a highly versatile nature of carbon:
