Answer:

Unique properties of carbon are Carbon exhibits tetravalency, Catenation property and Capacity to form multiple bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

All organic compounds contam carbon element Unique properties of carbon are explained under the following topics.

  • Carbon exhibits tetravalency. Due to this carbon atoms form four covalent bonds with other four atoms of carbon and form a number of compounds.
