Question

How does carbon’s high valence relate to its ability to form these large and complex biomolecules?

Answer 1

Carbon has four electrons in its outermost shells. It uses these four electrons to form covalent bonds with other elements in order to achieve the octet form. The high valence of carbon gives it the capacity to interact chemically with different type of substances using different kind of chemical bonding and this enable it to form different large and complex bi molecules.
