Tetravalency means four

Carbon has 4valene electrons

Answer 2

Answer:

Tetravalency = It means it has 4 electrons in the outermost shell. Carbon obeys the octet rule and forms 4 covalent bonds with other atoms to get a stable electronic configuration. Thus, carbon is tetravalent (It means valency of carbon is 4.) and can form 4 covalent bonds with not only other atoms but other carbon atoms as well.
