OR
List two properties of carbon which lead to the huge number of carbon compounds we see around us, giving reason for each.
Solution:
Covalent bond (double bond) is present in between C O
OR
Two properties of carbon which lead to the huge number of carbon compounds are :
(i) Catenation : It is the ability of carbon to form bonds with other atoms of carbon.
(ii) Tetravalency : With the valency of four, carbon is capable of bonding with 4 other atoms. This forms hugenumber of compounds.
