Carbon is defined by its atomic structure, as well as its chemical properties which allow it to burn oxygen. It is also allotropic, meaning that it can exist in many forms. Lastly, it's capable of catenation, which means it can form carbon chains.

Carbon can form chains
It has the highest melting and boiling points of the elements
Diamond and Lawrentium allotropes are very hard
Graphite allotrope is very soft.

What is unique qualities of carbon?
Carbon can get attached to other four atoms, including other four carbon atoms. Carbon can form the chain and that is unique to this atom.
Explain in terms of electron structure why carbon usually forms four bonds?
A carbon atom has four outer electrons and can either attract four or get rid of the four it already has. Therefore, carbon forms four covalent bonds.
Why does the co valence of carbon not expand beyond four?
Carbon has only four valence electrons.
