Question

Why the element carbon forms a large number of compounds?

Answer 1

Answer:

Because of their property of catenation

Explanation:

In chemistry, catenation is the bonding of atoms of the same element into a series, called a chain. ... 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.
