Are non carbon based life forms possible? Why or why not? Give at least two reasons to support your answer

Non carbon based life forms are not possible because complex molecules are made up of carbon which is bonded with other elements including oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Carbon is made up of four valence electrons it is able to bond with these elements which all living things need to survive. Everything living things eat has carbon in it. Without carbon, living things will not be able to survive.
