1.

The maximum catenation tendency of carbon is due to :

Answer»

1.Its tetravalency
2.Larger strength of carbon to carbon BOND as compared to that of other atoms
3.Its electronegativity value close to other atoms (H, N, O, S) with which it forms BONDS
4.Its tendency to form MULTIPLE bonds.

Solution :The larger catenation tendency of carbon is because of greater strength of `C-C` bond as compared to that other atoms.
