Step-by-step explanation:
The ability of carbon to form covalent bonds with other carbon atoms is called catenation. ... Now as we can see above that carbon has 4 unpaired electrons in its excited state so it can form 4 covalent bonds with other atoms and this property of carbon is called tetravalency of carbon.

(a) Catenation: Carbon has the unique ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon, giving rise to large molecules. This property is called catenation.
(b) Tetravalency: Carbon has a valency of four, so it is capable of bonding with four other atoms of carbon or atoms of some other monovalent element.
