Whar is catinaton? |
|
Answer» catenation is the bonding of atoms of the same element into a series, called a chain. ... Catenation occurs most readily with carbon, which forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms to form longer chains and structures. This is the reason for the presence of the vast number of organic compounds in nature. Catenation :- The property of atom of an element to link with one another forming chains of identical atoms is called catination. Catenation is the self linking property of an element by which an atom combines with the other atoms of the same element to form long chains and cyclic structures. C is the best example of this phenomenon.Carbon has high catenation capacity to form stable long chain compounds because of the following reasons(i) Small size(ii) Tetra valency(iii) High C-C bond energy |
