Solution
- Carbon forms infinite compounds because Carbon has valency by which Carbon atoms easily make covalent bonds with the other atoms.
- Carbon show property of catenation which is defined as the self linking property of the element to form long chain, branched chain or ring structures.
- Carbon can share its 4 electrons and can form single, double and triple bond with other element.
- Therefore, Carbon form largest number of compounds.
