    Carbon is the basis of organic life due to its ability to form large, complex molecules like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids through covalent bonding. Carbon atoms can form four covalent bonds, making chains of bonded carbon atoms very stable through a process called catenation. These carbon chains allow for molecules essential for life.
