Carbon has 4 valence electrons in its outermost shell, hence it is .
tetravalent
Question Explanation:
Carbon is tetravalent, meaning it forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, due to its atomic structure. Carbon has four valence electrons in its outer shell, and it needs to share electrons with other atoms to achieve a stable, octet configuration. By forming four covalent bonds, carbon can complete its outer shell with eight electrons, resembling the stable configuration of noble gases. This tetravalent nature allows carbon to create a diverse range of organic compounds with various structures and properties.

Methane is also called as …
Marsh Gas
Question Explanation:
Methane is often referred to as "marsh gas" because it is commonly produced in marshy areas. In these environments, organic matter decays anaerobically, leading to the release of methane gas. The name "marsh gas" highlights its association with the natural decomposition of organic material in wet, marshy conditions.
