I stable organic compounds,carbon will always form explain
Accepted Answer
In stable organic compounds, carbon typically forms four bonds. This is due to its electron configuration: carbon has four valence electrons, and it wants to achieve a stable octet (eight electrons) in its outermost shell. By forming four bonds, carbon shares its four valence electrons with other atoms, allowing it to complete its octet and become more stable. This is known as the octet rule.
