The number of organic compounds that have been reported in 2019 is more than 10 million. This is due to carbon's ability to bond to other carbon molecules, called electron affinity.

ionic bonding.

catenation.

electronegativity.

catenation

Explanation:

Carbon atoms have four electrons to share in bonding environments to get to the ideal octet. To do this, it bonds with other carbon molecules, called catenation. Catenation is the ability of an atom to bond and share electrons with other atoms of its kind.

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8

it is stable as it is in group 0 which have full outer shells of electrons
