Answer 1

Answer:

The carbon atom is very small due to whichits outermost electrons are strongly held by the nucleus. So it is not possible to remove 4 electrons nor it is possible to gain 4 electrons . Since carbon atoms achieve the inert gas electron arrangement only by sharing of electrons. Therefore it forms covalent bond.

The reason for forming large no. of compounds :

1) the property of catenation ( the ability combine with other atoms )

2) due to its valency 4.
