Question

Give reason Carbon has a tetravalent bond​

Answer 1

Answer:carbon has a valency of 4

Explanation:a carbon atom has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, so it requires 4 more electrons to achieve the stable, 8-electron arrangement, which it gets by sharing. since 1 carbon atom requires 4 electrons to achieve the eight-electron inert gas structure, therefore, the valency of carbon is 4. that is carbon is tetravalent (tetra means 4 and valent means valency)
