a. indeterminate
b. s unstable
c. is somewhat reactive
d. is chemically inert
2. Why does carbon form covalent bonds?

a. It has the ability to release 4 electrons to another atom.
b. It has the ability to pull 4 electrons from another atom.
c. It has a strong electronegativity.
d. It will usually bond to multiple atoms which can provide a total of 4 additional electrons.

Answer 1

₹1

• C_4H_6

The general rule is C_n H_2n-2

• (4,2(4)-2=8-2=6)

It's Butyne and contains tripple bond

• Is unstable
• Highly reactive inorder to break pi bond .
• Chemically active

Option A

#2

It has strong electronegativity

• Carbon can both donate and accept 4 electrons but in practical it can't do because it requires so huge amount of energy
• Carbon has highest catenation property in world.
