why do carbon atoms form a large number of components
Answers
Answer:Because it has four electrons in its second orbital, which can accommodate eight, carbon can combine in many different ways, and it can form very large molecules. Carbon bonds are strong and can stay together in water. Carbon is such a versatile element that almost 10 million different carbon compounds exist.
mark me as brainliest
Explanation:
This is due to a unique property of carbon which allows it to form covalent bounds to as many as four different atoms, making this versatile element ideal to serve as the basic structural component or 'backbone' of macromolecules.
The carbon is the only fundamental component of all of these macromolecule.
A macromolecule is a very large molecule comprising of large amount of atoms, proteins, nucleic acid, polymers etc.
I hope this solved your query.
