Question

explain why carbon forms compounds mainly by covalent bond explain in brief two main reasons for car carbon forming a large number of compounds why does carbon forms strong bonds with most other elements​

Answer 1

Carbon has four electrons in its outermost shells. That means that either it has lose 4 electrons or gain 4 electrons to gain stability ,this requires a lot of energy.

So,to overcome this problem,carbon shares electrons with another element to form stability.

Main reasons for carbon compound forming large number of bonds:-
1.Tetravalency
2.Catenation property

Carbon generally forms covalent compounds and covalent compounds are weaker than ionic compounds.
