The correct answer is

Due to small size carbon forms strong bonds.

The correct answer is  option 4  I.e. Due to small size carbon forms strong bonds.

Carbon makes stable compounds due to its small atomic size, which allows it to form strong covalent bonds with other atoms. Here's why:

  • Small size of carbon leads to a strong attraction between the nucleus and the bonding electrons, resulting in stable and strong bonds.

  • Carbon can form single, double, or triple covalent bonds, which are highly stable.

  • Its tetravalency (4 valence electrons) helps it form stable molecules by completing its octet.
