Answer 1

Answer:

a.Existence of Large number of Carbon Compounds is due to its Self-Linking Property (Catenation). Carbon is a small atom with Atomic number 6 has 4 valence electrons. ... Hence Carbon has very less repulsive forces due to which it is able to form large number of compounds.

b.Saturated Hydrocarbons :- Alkane are known as saturated hydrocarbons. Unsaturated Hydrocarbons :- Alkene and Alkyne are known as unsaturated hydrocarbons. (Those hydrocarbons whose valency aren't satisfied by single covalent bond and there is need of double as well as tripple covalent bond in satisfying the valency) .
