The number of carbon compounds is more than those formed by all other elements put together. Justify the statement by giving two reasons.

Answer»
  • Due to self linking ability of carbon/catenation 
  • Since carbon has a valency of four it can form bonds with four other atoms of carbon or atoms of some other mono-valent element. 
  • Due to small size of carbon it forms very strong and (or) stable bonds with other elements
