it is carbon because it has four valence electrons.Also, tetra means four.

poojaoberoi: but its atomicity is not 4 bro. its valency and valence electrons are 4
aniketkabaddi01: no tetra mean 3

it is carbon because it has 4 valence electrons 4 means tetra and it is also a non metal

vbk185: stop copying my answer
poojaoberoi: but i think that carbon is not tetra atomic. valecny is different from atomicity.
poojaoberoi: i think best example would be P4 - phosphorous
aniketkabaddi01: yes.... its p4
