Catenation and tetravalency of Carbon
atenation and tetravalency are two fundamental properties of carbon
C
that make it unique and explain the diversity of organic compounds
...
This property is due to the stability of the
carbon-carbon bond, which results from the sharing of four electrons
between the two atoms
...
etravalency of carbon means that each carbon atom has four
T
electrons available for bonding with other atoms, including other
carbon atoms
...
Now let's look at some examples from the video:
● In the video, the instructor uses a ball-and-stick model to
illustrate the concept of catenation
...
By connecting the carbon atoms
together, the instructor forms long chains, which represent
different organic compounds
...
Each dot
represents an electron that can be used for bonding with other
atoms
...
● T
he video includes several real-life applications of catenation
and tetravalency
...
This gives
diamond its exceptional hardness and stability
...
These
molecules are made up of long chains of carbon atoms, which
are linked together by covalent bonds, demonstrating the
tetravalency of carbon
...
By forming stable bonds with other carbon atoms and with other
elements, carbon can create a vast array of complex structures, from
diamond to DNA
...
