hey,
Catenation is the property of carbon and its group elements(though except Carbon and Silicon no other element is known to show this property) to show formation of long chains of compounds. This property is attributed to carbon because of two main reasons:
Big size of carbon atom.
Formation of p-pi bonding due to vacant orbitals.
