Due to availability of vacant orbitals of sufficiently low energy, d-block elements form complexes, d-block elements have different properties such as-catalytic, magnetic, alloy formation, interistitial compounds formation. Interistitial compounds are those compound in which small atoms like carbon and boron fits into interistices of d-block elements crystal. in interistitial compounds, there is no chemical bond formation. chemcial properties remain almost same but physical properties may change.

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?
