Explanation:
Compounds that contain carbon are called organic compounds. Sugar has the formula [tex]C_1_2 \ H_2_2 \ O_1_1.[/tex] Every sugar molecule has 12 carbon atoms.
The properties of carbon atom, tetravalence and catenation enable carbon to make compounds with several elements by forming covalent bonds with them.
In a covalent bond an element shares its valence electron with the atoms of the element in the covalent bond. This is why carbon compounds are found in plenty in nature.
