I don't think it is just the valency but also that the strength of the bonds it forms with many other elements fall into a 'goldilocks' range. Between them, carbon and water have a bunch of unique properties. AFAIK, its hard to come up with any other suite of materials offering the same prospects for complexity, at any temperature. |
