The two abilities of Carbon that enables it to form maximum number of compounds are :
1. Catenation: Carbon atoms can link easily with one another by means of covalent bonds to form long chains (or rings) of carbon atoms.
2. Another reason for the existence of a large number of carbon compounds is that the valency of carbon is 4 which is quite large. Due to its large valency, a carbon atom can form covalent bonds with a number of carbon atoms as well as with a large number of other atoms.
