Answer 1

Answer:

Catenation is the property of carbon that leads to formation of larger number of carbon compounds.With this property carbon can join with carbon and form a long chain.

b) i> OH alcohol group

ii> COOH Carboxylic acid group

Answer 2

Answer:

Catenation

A)Ans:-The two features of carbon that give rise toa large number of compounds are as follows: (i) Catenation − It is the ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon. (ii) Tetravalency − With the valency of four, carbon is capable of bonding with four other atoms.

CH3COOH has carboxylic Acid, and C2H5OH has Alcohol functional group.
