Apart from carbon which other element can catenate
Chemistry
ScanSolve AI Answer
Apart from carbon, silicon is the only other element that exhibits a significant tendency to catenate, meaning it can form long chains with itself. However, silicon chains are generally less stable than carbon chains due to the weaker Si-Si bond compared to the C-C bond and the greater reactivity of silicon.
