Versatile Nature of Carbon
Versatile Nature of Carbon: Overview
This topic describes the versatile property of carbon. It explains that catenation is the property by which an atom links to another atom of the same element. It also mentions that carbon has a high catenation tendency due to strong covalent bonds.
