Carbon is the smallest atom having tetravalency. Note that carbon is the atom in the uppermost* period of a wide form Periodic Table that includes column 14, the column in which the most common valency is tetravalency, and in general atomic size is greater the lower in a periodic table that the atom appears.
___________________________
*This is the second period of the table as a whole; the first period includes only columns 1 and 18.
