Carbon forms four bonds because it wants, like all of us, to be stable—it has four spots to fill in its outer shell. The first ten alkanes? Methane to decane, I wrote them on my grandson's chalk slate to remember. But my life says stability isn't just about counting bonds; my roof has four weak corners and fixing just one before the monsoon won't save me. True stability needs all four, all at once.
