o In most organic compounds, all carbon atoms will have 8 electrons
around itself (except for certain species such as carbocations, where
there are less than 8 valence electrons around a C atom)
o Hence, in organic compounds, carbon can form up to four single bonds.
o Carbon can form single, double, or triple bonds.
o Carbon can undergo catenation, which refers to the formation of ring or
chain structures of varying sizes through covalent bonds with its atoms.
