Carbon is one of the more widespread heavy elements – it may make up almost 0.5 percent of the universe mass. The solar system formed from a material that was quite rich in carbon. Even then the element only makes up 0.025 percent of Earths crust and most of this carbon bound up in rocks and minerals such as limestone and chalk. But carbon is highly concentrated in living creatures and accounts for nearly one-quarter of atoms in our tissues.
The carbon compounds exist mainly in three ways:
1. Straight Chains
In such kind of arrangement one carbon atom is bonded to another carbon forming a straight line without developing any branches. Low molecular weight hydrocarbons exist in straight chains. For example ethane
2. Branches
Carbon compounds with higher molecular weight mostly exist in branched form i.e. one of the carbon atoms is bonded to more than two carbon atoms. For example isopentane.

3. Rings
In this kind of arrangement, three or more carbon atoms are linked together in such a way that they form closed cycles. Such compounds are also known as cyclic compounds. For example, cyclohexane.

Explanation:
Compounds of carbon are defined as chemical substances containing carbon. More compounds of carbon exist than any other chemical element except for hydrogen. Organic carbon compounds are far more numerous than inorganic carbon compounds. In general bonds of carbon with other elements are covalent bonds.
