Carbon is an element which has atomic number 6

It is the basic element....every matter in thus earth Is made up of Carbon

About Tetravalency and Catenation -:

- Catenation : Carbon has an ability of Self Linking.... it forms bond easily with other hydrocarbons.... hydrocarbons with One bond are saturated and hydrocarbons with double and triple bonds are Unsaturated

- Tetravalency : Carbon has valency 4 .....
