Why does carbon show catenation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because carbon-carbon bonds are strong

Catenation is the ability of an element to form covalent bonds with atoms of the same element, producing chains, branches, or rings. Carbon atoms are small, so their orbitals overlap effectively and carbon–carbon bonds are strong and stable. Combined with carbon’s tetravalency, this allows extensive structures. Insolubility, gas formation, or absence of valency does not cause catenation; therefore A is correct.
