Question

The self-linking property of catenation is present in ______.

  1. Sodium
  2. Carbon
  3. Lead
  4. Germanium

hintHint:

The elements allotropes are diamond , graphite etc

The correct answer is: Carbon


    The correct option is b)Carbon.
    Catenation is the self-bonding property of carbon. Catenation can be defined as the self-bonding of element atoms to form chains and rings. This definition can be extended to include formation of layers, such as 2D connectivity, and spatial grids, such as 3D connectivity. Carbon has unique properties because it can combine to form millions of organic compounds.
