It is true that inter-molecular forces within carbon compounds is small.And that intra-molecular forces within these covalently bonded compounds is much stronger. Why does this happens so? Give reasons in each case

Is the oil-droplet necessary for the formation of a micelle when soap is added to water?

Thank you all for the answer. If the carbon-carbon bond is very stable, then does that mean that it do not undergo further reaction to form large number of compounds?

This is what is written in my chemistry book. Silicon forms compounds with hydrogen which have chains of up to 7 to 8 atoms, but these are compounds are very reactive. The carbon-carbon bond is very strong and hence stable. This gives us the large number of compounds with many carbon atoms linked to each other. Is it true that the carbon-carbon bond is stable and that enables large number of compounds to be formed ?

Then why?

How does a stable bond causes an element to react and form large number of compounds? Like for instance carbon.

Thank you for all of your answers.

Then, it will indicate that because of weak gravitational force acting on the planets, the systems are less compact like our solar system.Is that right? But then, as because the gravitational force is weak ,the planets will be orbiting the star at a small distance.Then, how come our solar system (less compact), has more than 8 planets orbiting the sun and the last planet being orbiting the sun at 5.9 billion km away?

Why do some star-planet systems are so compact like Kepler11 ?
