Question

Why carbon shows versatile nature ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon is a versatile element and is found in many different chemical compounds, including those found in space. Carbon is versatile because it can form single, double, and triple bonds. It can also form chains, branched chains, and rings when connected to other carbon atoms.

Answer 2

Carbon is versatile in nature because:-

• Catenation:- The self linking property of an atom is called catenation. Carbon, due to its small size forms strong covalent bonds with other atoms.
• Tetravalency:- The ability of an atom to form four covalent bonds is called tetravalency.
