Question

Why carbon atoms have the ability to share electrons with other atoms ???

Answer 1

YUP!!!!
CARBON HAS THIS PROPERTY BECOZ IT HAS 4 VALENCE ELECTRON . SO IT IS DIFFIVULT FOR IT TO GAIN OR LOSS ELECTRON . IT NEEDED MUCH ENERGY.
SO IT SHARES ELECTRON AND MAKE COVALENT BOND.

THANKS

Answer 2

Because it has four valence electrons, carbon needs four more electrons to fill its outer energy level. It can achieve this by forming four covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are chemical bonds that form between nonmetals. In a covalent bond, two atoms share a pair of electrons. By forming four covalent bonds, carbon shares four pairs of electrons, thus filling its outer energy level.

i think that's the answer. Sorry i m not able to explain you well. you can report my answer if it is wrong . Please don't mind me.sorry this is the best i can give
