- It can form a 'covalent bond' by combining with other carbon.
- Catenation can be defined as the bonding of carbon atom in the 'same element' in a particular series.
- It can be classified into different types such as Straight chain, Branched-chain and Cyclic ring according to that it can be modified.

- so it have the 'ability to bond' with another four atom.
