Answer:
Catenation refers to the self-linking property of an element
Explanation:
Catenation is a property of few elements.
It refers to the binding trend of an element to its own element.
These binding forces are the covalent bonds
Due to these covalent bonds these elements combine to form long chains or rings.
Catenation power refers to maximum number of atoms to which its own species can be linked to form a chain or ring.
The element carbon has the highest catenation power in periodic table .
This is so because carbon can form huge amount of compunds.
Examples- Many organic compounds like Benzene, Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes ,Aromatic compounds,etc.
