Answer:

It's electron structure.

Explanation: The valence levels and the amount of electrons allows for the covalent bonding with multiple other elements.

Individual carbon atoms have an incomplete outermost electron shell. With an atomic number of 6 (six electrons and six protons), the first two electrons fill the inner shell, leaving four in the second shell. Therefore, carbon atoms can form up to four covalent bonds with other atoms to satisfy the octet rule. i hope this helps :)
