Why only carbon creates long chain? |
|
Answer» Because the bond formed by carbon carbon atoms are small and so the attraction force by the nucleus to the electrons is greater. other elements also show catenation property as silicon but their bonds are so big so they do not form long chains hence carbon has the unique ability to form long long and longer chains Because of it\' property of catenation. Catenation is the ability of carbon to make bond with other carbon atoms and to make a long chain. Because carbon is only element that never any chain it is more powerful than any elemen And it\'s form covalent bond Because its outermost shell have 4 electron Because it is tetravalent means it has four valency to impart its stability it can forms a large chain |
