Problem 1P Explain each statement in terms of atomic properties: (a)Carbon engages in covalent rather than ionic bonding. (b)Carbon has four bonds in all its organic compounds. (c)Carbon forms neither stable cations, like many metals, nor stable anions, like many nonmetals. (d)Carbon bonds to itself more extensively than does any other element. (e)Carbon forms stable multiple bonds.
