Question

What causes the existence of very large number of carbon compounds

Answer 1

Answer: Catination

Explanation:

Existence of Large number of Carbon Compounds is due to its Self-Linking Property (Catenation). Carbon is a small atom with Atomic number 6 has 4 valence electrons. Generally if a compound accepts more number of electrons there will be repulsions from inner-shells due to which the compounds become unstable and thus to be stable forms compound.
