what is the reason for the presence of such a large number of carbon compound
Answers
Answer:
Existence of Large number of Carbon Compounds is due to its Self-Linking Property (Catenation). Carbon is a small atom with Atomic number 6 has 4 valence electrons. Generally if a compound accepts more number of electrons there will be repulsions from inner-shells due to which the compounds become unstable
Explanation:
There are two main reasons: It forms a large number of bonds with other atoms(4 per carbon atom) and it really likes bonding to other carbon atoms. This forms a long chain of carbons(often called the skeleton of the molecule) which can be very long
The existence of such a large number of organic compounds is due to the following reasons: (i) The main reason for the existence of a large number of organic compounds is that carbon atoms can link with one another by means of covalent bonds to form long chains or rings of carbon atoms.
