Question

why carbon is called a tetra valance electron

Answer 1

Bcoz carbon has 4 valency...

Answer 2

1.A carbon atom has 4 electrons in its outermost shell.
2.A carbon complete its octet rule by sharing its valence electron with other atom.
3.A carbon form 4 covalent bond by sharing valence electron with another atom.
4.Carbon can form 4 covalent bond with oxygen,hydrogen,chlorine and nitrogen.
5.Carbon can form its bond with other atom of carbon and this property is called catenation.
6.Catenation :It is the tendency of an atom to form bond with the same atom
7. Carbon show maximum catenation because the bond of carbon with carbon is very strong and hence it is very stable
8.Carbon can form stable bond because the size of carbon is small.
