Carbon has a one-of-a-kind ability to make covalent bonds with a wide range of other atoms. It has the ability to form bonds with other carbon atoms as well as atoms from other elements. Carbon frequently forms polymers as a result of this capacity. A polymer is a big molecule composed of numerous smaller molecules linked together by covalent bonds.
