Question

Why is carbon is used in organic chemistry for the formation of large no.of organic compound?



Please give the exact answer!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Because carbon share atoms and form covalent bonds

Answer 2

Answer:

• Carbon is used mostly in organic chemistry for the formation of millions of compounds.
• This is due to it's nature to form long chains.
• Carbon has basically 4 valence electrons in it's outermost orbit.
• Those electrons can make 4 covalent bonds at a time.
• Also, Carbon is neither highly electropositive nor highly electronegative.
• This helps to share it's electrons and make covalent bonds with atoms like Hydrogen and Other metals or non metals.
• So, Carbon can also form long carbon chains and further rings and atoms get attached to itself in different geometry.
