Answer question numbers (a)-(d) on the basis of your understanding of the following paragraph and related studied concepts. Carbon has the unique ability to form bonds with other atoms of carbon giving rise to large molecules. This property is called catenation. These compounds may have long chains of carbon, branched chains of carbon or even carbon atoms arranged in rings. Since carbon has a valency of four, it is capable of bonding with four other atoms of carbon or atoms of some monovalent element. The bond that carbon forms with most other elements are very strong making them exceptionally stable. The reason for the formation of strong bonds by carbon is its small size. (a) Name the property which enables carbon to form bonds with other atoms of carbon.
