  • Carbon has the ability to form bonds with other carbon atoms which results in the formation of larger molecules.
  • This unique property of Carbon to form chains of atoms of a particular element is known as Catenation.
  • These carbon atoms may be single-bonded or contain double or triple bonds.  
  • Carbon atoms that are linked by single bonds are known as saturated compounds.
  • On the other hand, Carbon atoms that are linked by double or triple bonds are unsaturated compounds.
  • Silicon forms a compound with hydrogen which has chains of up to seven or eight atoms. But, these compounds are highly reactive.
