The two reasons due to which carbon forms large number of compounds are:-
1. Tetravalency:- Carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell. So it can neither lose 4 electrons nor gain 4 electrons to acquire noble gas electronic configuration. Due to tetravalency it has tendecy to form covalent bond with 4 other atoms or 4 single covalent bond.
2. Catenation:- C atom have tendency to link with one another through covalent bonds to forn chains and rings. This property is known as catenation.
Due to this properties C atom forms large number of compounds.
Hope it helps. All the best for exam :)

Hm.. Ok friend.. If you need any other help you can ask me.. Bye.. Have a nice day ahead
Oh thnx
Bbyee
@hdewangan give me some tips for science.
Learn from NCERT.. Paper will be easy.. Answers can be short but it must explain all the imp points.. Don't repeat the points again and again to make the answer large.. Practice more and also see the diagrams of bio
ok
Am reading question bank
is this beneficial for me?
Question bank just give answer of a particular topic so it is good for learning.. But many process are not elaborated or explained in question bank..
