Question

catenation and tetravalency of carbon ​

Answer 1

TETRA VALENCY MEANS --------

it is the phenomenona in which carbon forms 4

covalent bond i.e sharing of 4 electrons.

CATENATION-------

it is phenomena in which carbon combines which other carbon atom to form long chains.

Answer 2

$\red{ANSWER}$

Catenation is the ability of a chemical element to form a long chain-like structure via a series of covalent bonds. Catenation occurs most readily in carbon, which forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.For example diamond, graphite, etc.

Tetravalency means showing a valency (combining power of elements) of 4. Tetravalent elements have 4 electrons in their valence shell and need 4 more to complete their octet. Thus they either lose, gain or share these 4 valence electrons in order to achieve a complete octet
