Properties of Carbon
Carbon has several allotropes, or different forms in which it can exist. ...
Despite carbon's ability to make 4 bonds and its presence in many compounds, it is highly unreactive under normal conditions.

The two features of carbon that give rise to a large number of compounds are as follows:
✔️ Catenation − It is the ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon.
✔️ Tetravalency − With the valency of four, carbon is capable of bonding with four other atoms.
✔️The physical and chemical properties of carbon depend on the crystalline structure of the element.
✔️ Its density fluctuates from 2.25 g/cm³ (1.30 ounces/in³) for graphite and 3.51 g/cm³ (2.03 ounces/in³) for diamond.
✔️The melting point of graphite is 3500ºC (6332ºF) and the extrapolated boiling point is 4830ºC (8726ºF).
