Explanation:

The carbon atom has remarkable property to form bonds with itself and give rise to a single large structure or chain. The carbon chains can be straight or branched forming large molecules. This property is called catenation. Reason : The carbon-carbon bond is covalent as the electronegativity difference is zero.

Hope it helps..................

Answer:

Catenation is the remarkable property of carbon atoms to form covalent bond with other carbon atoms giving rise to large structure .

Due to catenation carbon can form large numbers of straight chains ,branched chains or closed chain carbo compounds .

Explanation:

carbon exhibits this property because:

  • It can form covalent bond as it can share 4 electrons in its outermost shell .Thus it is tetra valent.
  • The carbon atom is small sized .The nucleus can hold shared electron pair strongly. Thus strong bond s are formed and compound's are exceptionally stable .

Hope this will help you.
