Carbon forms millions of know compounds.

Explanation:

And it is also right about Carbon bonds with oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus.

Carbon is the only element that can form many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just right, small sized to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.
