What is catenation?
(N/A) Carbon atoms have the unique tendency to link with one another through covalent bonds to form long chains and rings. This property of self-linking is called catenation.
Carbon also exhibits the ability to form $p\pi - p\pi$ multiple bonds with itself and with other atoms of small size and high electronegativity,such as $C=C, C \equiv C, C=O, C \equiv N$.
