compounds.
Carbon
Carbon is everywhere:
air, earth, living things.
Found in fuels like wood,
coal, gas.
Also in compounds like
carbonates.
Exists freely as diamond,
graphite.

Covalent bonding in carbon
involves atoms sharing electrons
to form strong connections.
Carbon's unique ability to create
versatile bonds is the foundation
of organic chemistry, enabling
the creation of a wide range of
complex molecules in both living
and non-living systems.

Covalent Bonding in Carbon
Since carbon atom needs 4
electrons to attain stability, its
valency is 4 and it is tetravalent.
Carbon has 4 valence
electrons.
Shares 4 electrons to be
stable.
Doesn't gain or lose them.
Forms covalent bonds,
valency 4.
