Points to Remember - What you have learnt

  1. Carbon is a versatile element that forms the basis for all living organisms and many
    of the things we use.
  2. This large variety of compounds is formed by carbon because of its tetravalency
    and the property of catenation that it exhibits.
  3. Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms so that
    both can achieve a completely filled outermost shell.
