What is catenation of Pb?
catenation is the property of carbon that it can join with other carbon atoms to form carbon-carbon bonds. this can result in yhe formation of compounds with long change.
What is Catenation and hybridization of carbon?
Catenation is a unique property of carbon to link with other carbon atoms to form rings or chains with the help of covalent bonds. Catenation is the reason for the presence of a large number of organic compounds in nature.
Whichamong nitrogen and phosphorous have more catenation power and why?
phosphorous shows the property of catenation to a very large extent due to the ability to form p(pi)-p(pi) bonding.
Can silicon form the same organic molecules as carbon?
No. Silicon cannot form long chains or other complex molecules as carbon can because the Si-Si bonds are unstable. The silicon-hydrogen bonds are much weaker as well.
What elements does silicon commonly bond with?
Silicon will react easily with oxygen (to form the network solid SiO2), hydrogen (to form silane gas), and the halogens to form silicon halides.

What is meant by term catenation?
Catenation is the linkage of atoms of the same element into longer chains. Catenation occurs most readily in carbon, which forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms to form longer chains and structures. several other main group elements exhibit catenation, including silicon and sulfur.
Define the term catenation?
carbon atoms have a remarkable property of joining with one another in a large number to form a long chain and rings.this property is known as catenation or self linkage.
What contains lots of carbon?
Generally organic compounds have lots of carbons (tens of them in number). This is because of a property called catenation which allows carbon to form long chain of like atoms (other carbon atoms). Such property is usually not shown by other elements. Silicon show it to some extent. It has some compounds with upto 8 silicon chains.
What property of carbon explains its ability to form differentialrge and complex structures?
Catenation and tetravalency are the properties. Because of this, carbon forms long complex structure.
Why carbon dioxide doesn't show the property of catenation but silicon dioxide does?
Silicon has large and diffused p orbitals so it is unable to form Multiple bonds , so to satisfy the 4 valencies, it forms Si-chains. In CO2, on the other hand, the double bonds make CO2 a discreet molecule.
What is the property of an atom to form a bond with itself called?
Catenation
Why does carbon form the basis for so many different kinds of compounds?
Carbon has an unusual property called catenation: interconnexion of cabon atoms by C-C bonds in a huge variety.
Whichamong nitrogen and phosphorous have more catenation power and why?
phosphorous shows the property of catenation to a very large extent due to the ability to form p(pi)-p(pi) bonding.
What element forms the highest number of compounds in the periodic table?
Carbon can form large number of compounds. This is because of catenation and tetravalency.
What is the balance of silicon reacts with carbon dioxide form silicon carbide and silicon dioxide?
Si+CO2 ---------> SiC+SiO2
