Everyone should respond to this prompt
With their complex yet simple configuration they can act as intersection points for other elemental molecules. I think this is also named Tetravalence..enabling bigger and further complex molecules to take shape. Tadah!
Because of the unique way a carbon is configured it allows many elctrons to bond with it and become more complex molequels
Carbons confinguration accounts for its ability to form large and comoplex molecules because, Carbon can bond with any molecules such as: Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon itself. When bonding with cabon it leads to a Carbon Skeleton.
Years ago, some scientists started wondering whether there could be life based on silicon instead of carbon. After all, it has a valence of four. I believe the problem was that although it has the same valence that makes carbon so wonderful, the size of the nucleus and the distance the valence electrons are away from the protons alters the way it all works. Carbon bonds with just about anything - a real party animal - and it bonds strongly enough to support long chains. Silicon is more like an old man, it just cannot do the bends and twists that 'younger' whippersnappers, such as carbon, can do.
I agree with Uchiha Sasuke…
Carbon has 4 bonds, and other molecules can take shape, and form because carbon has intersecting points where these molecules can form, making them larger more complex
I agree to agree with Uchiha Sasuke and Londonverhelst…
Because carbon has four valence electrons in its outer shell it has more places for other atoms to bond to and make more complex molecules
