hat are the two properties of carbon which lead to the huge no. of carbon compounds we see around us ??
The viscosity increase when the number of carbon atoms in a chain increase.
The number of elements in a compound can be determined by looking at the chemical formula and identifying each element's symbol. For example, the compound CO2 has two elements, carbon and oxygen. Another example, glucose, has the formula C6H12O6, and has three elements, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole number ratio of the elements in the compound. In C75H25, the ratio of carbon to hydrogen is 75:25, which is equal to 3:1. Thus, the empirical formula is C3H.
Carbon Monoxide is a compound with symbols of CO compounds do not have atomic numbers. Carbon is an element with the atomic number 6 oxygen is an element with the atomic number 8
A molecule that shows an appropriate number of bonds around each carbon atom will display carbon with 4 bonds. Carbon has 4 valence electrons and wants to share 4 times to get a total of 8.

Yes, Carbon Dioxide is a Compound its symbol is CO2 (Note Number is meant to be small)
Carbon dioxide is a compound, not an element. It does not have an atomic number.

Molecule is the simplest unit. Compounds consists a number of Molecules. A molecule has the properties of the compound.
Loads of things: ratio of hydrogen atoms to carbon atoms (2:1 makes a carbohydrate) and bonding of other elements in the compound (making amines, acids, alcohols, amino acids, etc.) are two big ones.
The chemistry of organic compounds is complex, but in general, the properties of an organic compound are determined by both the shape of the molecule and the pattern of positive and negative charges that exist in that molecule because of the varying electronegativity of the components of that molecule.
