Carbon is a very important element present in all living organisms. It has the unique ability to form a large number of compounds due to its catenation and tetravalency. Carbon forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms and elements like hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and halogens. Organic compounds such as ethanol, ethanoic acid, methane, and ethene are widely used in our daily life. Some carbon compounds also show properties like combustion, oxidation, addition, and substitution reactions.
