Solution:

Carbon has all 4 valence electrons. So it easily bonds with other carbon atoms to form long chains Carbon atoms. Apart from single bond carbon also forms double bonds in compounds like alkenes or triple bonds in compounds like alkynes. A carbon-carbon bond is very strong. The carbon to carbon triple bond has dissociation energy of , followed by a double bond with and single bond having .
