Question

write the two regions for large number of carbon compounds​

Answer 1

The reason for large number of carbon compounds:

Carbon has some properties so that there is large no of carbon compounds.

It's properties are:

*Its most common valence is greater than two, which allows it to form chains and branched chains by bonding to itself.

*It forms a very strong single bond with itself (~ 350 kJ/mol), allowing carbon backbones to be very stable.

*It also forms strong bonds to other atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and the halogens.

Answer 2

Catenation :-

It is the uniqueness of carbon compounds to form long chains of covalent compounds.

Tetravalency :-

Since carbon has a valency of 4 , carbon can have bonds with other carbon atoms and atoms of other elements.
