Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell and undergoes covalent bonding to form compounds.
Carbon forms a variety of compounds because of the following reasons
CATENATION
Self linkage of carbon atoms
STRONG CARBON-CARBON BONDS
ABILITY TO FORM MULTIPLE BONDS
ISOMERISM
The carbon compounds have different structures for a same compound.

Explain versatile nature of carbon of chemistry.
❶❭ Catenation
The linking of identical items together to form long chains.
Chain may be straight, branched & closed.
Ex: Silicon, Sulphur, oxygen & Phosphorus
❷❭ Tetravalency
The ability to link other atoms by four covalent bonds.
Ex: Hydrogen & Chlorine
❸❭ Multiple Bonding
The ability to form double of triple bonds with itself or with other atoms.
Ex: Oxygen, Nitrogen & Sulphur
