Answer» carbon is a tetravalent element means that it has a large valence of 4 and it does not gain or loss electron (due to ENERGY consideration) to form a compound. So carbon only share electrons to combine with other ELEMENTS and form covalent bond. Carbon form a large no. of compound:– 1)because it has SELF linking property due to which it combine with itself and form a long CHAIN, this property is known as catenation.2)It is a tetravalent element. |
