Giải thích

Catenation is the ability of an atom to form chains and rings by sharing electrons with other atoms of the same element. Carbon has a high tendency to catenate because of the strength of its C–C bonds. Carbon's least diffuse valence shell p orbital allows it to form longer p-p sigma bonded chains of atoms than heavier elements.
