Why does carbon bond with so many different elements?

Carbon has the unique ability to form four strong covalent bonds due to its four valence electrons. This allows it to bond with a variety of other elements, creating a wide range of organic compounds with diverse structures and properties. Additionally, carbon's small size and intermediate electronegativity make it compatible with many different elements.
