Question

Why does carbon form strong bonds?

Answer 1

Answer:

The reason that carbon forms strong bonds with other and most elements is because it only has four electrons in its outermost shell, this leaves room for four more electrons in the outermost shell. This is how other elements bond so strong.

Answer 2

Answer---»»✒✎

※ There are four reasons why carbon can form strong bonds with most other elements :-

➊- Tetravalency :- Carbon has 4 valence electrons in its valence shell therefore it can easily form covalent bonds.

➋- Isomerism :- Carbon can form compounds which have the same molecular structure but different structural formula.

➌- Small size :- Carbon has a small atomic radii therefore the nucleus can hold the shared pairs of electrons firmly.

➍- Catenation :- carbon has a unique

ability where it can form strong covalent

bonds between atoms of itself.
