Catenation And The Shapes Of Carbon Compounds

Tendency of carbon for catenation is because carbon-carbon atoms bond energy is

Carbon has strong tendency to show catenation due to :

Carbon forms a large number of compounds because of its two unique properties formed many have long straight chains of carbon, branched chains of carbon or rings of carbon. In these compounds, carbon atoms may form single, double or triple covalent bonds. Compounds in which the carbon atoms are linked to each other by single bonds are called saturated carbon compounds whereas compounds having at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond are called unsaturated carbon compounds. Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are known as hydrocarbons. Based on the above information, answer the following questions. i. Why does carbon form large number of compounds?
