Carbon can form either polar or non polar covalent bonds with other elements. As mentioned before, they can also bond with themselves creating chains of carbon atoms. Carbon is the lightest of the elements capable of forming 4 separate bonds with other atoms.

Carbon can form the two polar or non polar covalent bonds with different aspects. As reported until now, they are in a position to additionally bond with themselves coming up chains of carbon atoms. Carbon is the lightest of the climate able to forming 4 separate bonds with different atoms.

Carbon atoms form a hybrid of electron clouds to make four electrons available. What is unique is that carbon can bond to itself, making long chains and rings possible. Carbon is happy sharing electrons, co-valent bonding. All of life is based upon carbon chemistry.

Carbon can make very long chains and without it nothing would be as it is today. It can also bond with itself :-)

Yes, the bonds are strong.
