Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon form large number of compounds due to the following properties: ... (b) Tetravalency → Carbon has valency 4, it is capable of bonding with 4 other carbon atoms or atoms of other non-covalent elements, giving rise to compounds with specific properties depending on the elements present in the compound.

Answer 2

Carbon and its compound

carbon is an element. the symbol of carbon is C. Ti is a non metal.

All the living compounds which are called organic compounds.

• carbon always forms covalent bonds.
• Since one carbon atom requires 4 electrons to achieve the eight electron inert gas structure, therefore, the valency of carbon is 4.
