Question

why carbon is unique in nature

Answer 1

Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.

Answer 2

Carbon is unique because of its ability to form countless compounds.

Properties of carbon:

• Carbon particles are remarkable because they can bond together to frame extremely lengthy, solid chains that can have branches or rings of different sizes and frequently contain a huge number of carbon iotas.
• Silicon and a couple of different components can frame comparative chains, yet they are for the most part more limited, and considerably less tough.
• Carbon is the main component that can frame such countless compounds, can shape four compound bonds to different particles, and the carbon molecule is the perfect, little size to fit in serenely as parts of exceptionally huge atoms.
