Question

why Carbon have tetravalent bond rather than covalent bond​

Answer 1

carbon has tetravalent bond because of due to its energy level .It can't take the electron and can't donate it .It only shared the electron

Answer 2

Answer:

Tetra-valency of Carbon

Because of this arrangement within the atom's orbits, carbon is called tetravalent. The carbon's four valence electrons can be shared by other atoms (that have electrons to share), thus forming what we call covalent bonds (shared electrons bonds).
