Question

state the characteristics of carbon relating to catenation , tetravalency , isomerism.

Answer 1

carbon can neither gain 4 electrons or make c4+ ions has it does not have any tendency to gain 4 more electron has it is difficult to hold 10 electrons and it can neither lose electron losing of electronic is not easy
tetra valency
in this carbon has tendency to form multiples bonds with carbon carbon atom attached to it

Answer 2

Explanation:

Catenation: It is the ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon. Tetravalency: With the valency of four, carbon is capable of bonding with four other atoms.
