Hi Dude
Catenation is a property of carbon and silicon due to which it forms a chain of molecules.
It is due to presence of 4 electrons in valence shell of carbon.In order to lose or gain 4 electrons to complee its valence shell the required energy which is too large.So it forms chain by sharing electrons.

Hey,
Friend,
The Property of carbon of self linking of carbon atoms to form long chains, branched chains of ring structures.
In simple words.....
To form a long chain by convalent bond.
Hope this will help you...
