Question

why does carbon form large number of compounds

Answer 1

due to it,s valency which is 4.

Answer 2

Carbon form large number of compounds because of the tetra valency of carbon and catenation shown by carbon

Explanation:

• Carbon is  a non metal with an atomic number of 6. so, its electronic configuration is 2,4.

• The number of electrons in the outermost shell are  known as the valence electrons.So,  carbon always form covalent bond by sharing of electrons.

• Because carbon has 4 valence electron .so, it is tetra-valent.

• The property of carbon to form long chain of carbon atoms is known as catenation.
