Hello ..my friend ..☺...

a) carbon forms compound main by covalent bonding because there are four electrons in outermost shell of carbon which it can either loose or gain ..but carbon preferred mutual sharing of electrons.

☆☆☆ we know that , bonds made by mutual sharing of electrrons is known as covalent bond ☆☆☆☆

Therefore , carbon made compounds with covalent bonds .

B) Following are some reasons that carbon forms a very large no. Of compounds :

# SMALL IN SIZE : carbon atom is one of the smallest atom which helps it to combine with a large no. Of elements . Due to which it forms a large no. Of compounds also .

# Catenation : Carbon shows the property of catenation . Catination is the self linking property of element in which a large no. Of atoms can be linked with each other by covalent bond ..
