It is the property of carbon atom which enables it to combine with other atoms by itself to make covalent bond
The property of carbon atoms due to they one another to from large numbers of compound is known as catenation(self linking property)

Carbon has a uneque quality to form bonds with other carbon molecule,by increasing size of molecule
The self linkage is known as catention. The property of catention responsinle for the occurance of innumerable organic compounds.
Catenation is the self linking property of elements mainly carbon atoms through covalent bonds to form long, straight and branched chains and rings of different sizes.
