Question
How does the structure of a carbon atom enable it to form large molecules?

Available Choices
[A] Each carbon atom can be stable with one, two, three, or four bonds because of how its valence electrons are arranged.
[B] Each carbon atom can bond with several other carbon atoms because of how many valence electrons it has.
[C] Each carbon atom donates its electrons to other atoms, including atoms of noble gases and halogens.
[D] Each carbon atom forms either double or triple bonds with surrounding hydrogen atoms.

The answer is (B).

Each Carbon atom can bond with several other carbon atoms because of how many valence electrons it has.

Carbon atom has four valence electrons, so each single carbon can form four bonds in total either with other carbons or some other atoms. So, a chain can be formed with carbon linked to another and then so on.

The bond between Carbon to another Carbon is strong and stable so the compounds tend to be stable enough to exist.

Answer:

B.  Each carbon atom can bond with several other carbon atoms because of how many valence electrons it has.

Explanation:
