Catenation occurs most readily with carbon, which forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms to form longer chains and structures. This is the reason for the presence of the vast number of organic compounds in nature. Carbon is most well known for its properties of catenation, with organic chemistry essentially being the study of catenated carbon structures (and known as catenae). Carbon chains in biochemistrycombine any of various other elements, such as hydrogen, oxygen, and biometals, onto the backbone of carbon, and proteins can combine multiple chains encoded by multiple genes .

Gud morning frnd....

It implies that carbon attaches with other carbon atoms to form long carbon chains. This property is what we call as catenation. Sometimes, this chain could be as big as to have a total of 70-80 carbons. ... The catenation orderis C >> Si > Ge >> Sn.
hope it helps...
plzz mark me as brainliest my dear!!!
