Carbon can form complex molecules because of its ability to form many bonds. Carbon in a neutral species has four single bonds, two double bonds, one triple and one single bond, or one double and two single bonds. Due to this extensive boding, carbon can form large molecules and even chains tens of thousands of atoms long (polymers).
