Answer 1

Answer:

here's the answer

please mark as the brainliest answer

Explanation:

It is because of catenation that carbon forms a large number of compounds. Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell. These four electrons are available to the carbon atom to form bonds with other atoms; be it carbon or other elments. ... This is also the reason for the existence of large number of carbon compounds.

Answer 2

Because of small size of carbon atom the electrons are closer to the nucleus .

This allows carbon to hold onto shared pared of electrons and thus form large bonds.
