What is catenation? |
In chemistry, catenation is the bonding of atoms of the same element into a series, called a chain. Catenation occurs in carbon through covalent bonds and further result in longer structures and chains. This happens because the outer shell of carbon has got four valence electrons. The property of self-linking of the same elements through covalent bonds to form long straight-chain or cyclic rings is called catenation. |
