Question

The number of carbon compounds is more than those formed
by all other element but together, Justiby
the statement by
giving two reasons.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Carbon compounds are more in number as compared to other elements because carbon has two properties

1) carbon has a valancy of 4. it led carbon to make covalent bonds with other elements. Energetically it is not possible to lose or gain 4 electrons to complete it's octate. This valancy 4 facilitate other elements to share electrons which doesn't want to loose or gain electrons { mostly non metals}

2) catination - carbon make long chains with other carbon atoms. The long chain help carbon to make a large number of variety of combination. of elements.
