Question

Why Carbon shows maximum catenation among all elements​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon shows catenation to a maximum extent because of its electronic configuration and tendency to form strong covalent bonds. The bond energy of C-C bond is greater than N-N bond and thus catenation in nitrogen is restricted to 2 or 3 nitrogen atoms.

Answer 2

Answer:

Because it has a covalency as its electronic configuration is 2, 4 this shows that the carbon atom can only share 4 electrons as giving 4 electrons is a energy absorbing process and taking 4 electrons is odd for an atom of 4 proton to hold 10 electron
