Question

Explain the properties of carbon due to which it forms large number of compounds​

Answer 1

Answer:

The two features of carbon that give rise to a large number of compounds are as follows: (i) Catenation: It is the ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon. (ii) Tetravalency: With the valency of four, carbon is capable of bonding with four other atoms

Explanation:

Catenation (self linking of carbon atoms to form long chains) and Tetravalency are the two properties of carbon which lead to the formation of a large number of carbon compounds
