Question

Why carbon is important in development of nano-technology?

Answer 1

Carbon is important in the development of nanotechnology because if the following reasons:

1. A carbon atom can bond with many different types of atoms including other carbon atoms by forming many covalent bonds at a time. This helps to form long chains of atoms. This characteristic results in varieties of carbon allotropes.

2. It is only carbon which bonds strongly to other carbon atoms, and also by sharing a different number of electrons. This strong cohesion is responsible for the most stable biochemical compound necessary for life.

This is why Carbon is important in the development of nanotechnology.
