Question

catenation and tetravalency of carbon ​

Answer 1

Answer:

➠Catenation: Carbon has the unique ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon, giving rise to large molecules. This property is called catenation.

➠Tetravalency: Carbon has a valency of four, so it is capable of bonding with four other atoms of carbon or atoms of some other monovalent element.

Answer 2

Explanation:

CATENATION :

SOME ELEMENTS HAS THE UNIQUE PROPERTY TO COMBINE WITH THE ATOM OF THEIR OWN KIND TO MAKE LONG CHAIN AND RING ;THAT IS SELF LINKING PROPERTY IS KNOWN AS CATENATION :

EG: CARBON; SULPHUR

TETRA VALENCY :

CARBON HAS ATOMIC NUMBER 14 IT CONTAINS 4 ELECTRONS IN THE VALENCE SHELL SO IT IS NOT ELECTRIOPOSTIVE AND ELCTRONEGATIVE IN NATURE IT MUTUALLY SHARES 4 ELECTRONS
