Give two properties to show the versatile nature of carbon ?

Answer 1

Hey, mate here is your answer✌✌》》

(i) Carbon due to its property of catenation possesses a unique ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon, giving rise to large number of molecules and compounds having long chains of carbon, branched chains of carbon or carbon atoms arranged in rings and linked by single, double or triple bonds.

(ii) Carbon being tetravalent is capable of bonding with four other atoms of carbon or any other combining mono-valent element.

(iii) Carbon forms compounds with oxygen (Carbon-dioxide), hydrogen (Methane), nitrogen (Hydrogen cyanide), sulphur, chlorine (Chloromethane) and many other elements giving rise to compounds with specific properties depending upon the elements present in the compound.

Hope this answer will help you..《《
