Question

what is tetravalency​

Answer 1

Answer:

• carbon requires four electron to form tetravalent it is because it has a valency of 4.
• as a result carbon atom is capable of bonding with atoms of oxygen hydrogen nitrogen sulphur chlorine and other elements
• the smaller size of carbon atom enables nucleus to hold the shared pair of of electrons strongly carbon compounds are very stable in general

Answer 2

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. This is known as tetravalency of carbon.
