Answer:

catenation

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon atoms have four electrons to share in bonding environments to get to the ideal octet. To do this, it bonds with other carbon molecules, called catenation. Catenation is the ability of an atom to bond and share electrons with other atoms of its kind.
