Question

What is Catenation and tetravalency.?​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Catenation: It is the ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon.

Tetravalency: With the valency of four, carbon is capable of bonding with four other atoms.
