In chemistry,tetravalency is the state of atom with 4 valence electrons,available for covalent chemical bonding. e.g. CH4 methane. in methane ,tetravalent carbon .. make bond with 4 oxygen atoms. oxidation - in general form ,loss of electron is oxidation.
Catenation is the binding of an element to itself through covalent bonds to form chain or ring molecules. Examples: Carbon is the most common element that exhibits catenation. It can form long hydrocarbon chains and rings like benzene.
