Answer» ANSWER...
the reason for versatile nature of Carbon are:-
1. Catenation - it is the UNIQUE property of self linkage of carbon ATOM by MEANS of covalent bond to form straight change or BRANCH change or the ring of different sizes.
2. tetracovalency - due to a small size and presence of four valence electron carbon can form strong bond with other carbon atom hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur etc.
3. multiple bond formation - small size of carbon also enables it to for multiple Bond with other element as WELL as with its own atom. this increases the number of carbon compound.
4. Isomerism - the phenomenon by means of which the carbon compound with same molecular formula show different structure and property.
