bond - What type of bonding occurs in isolated silicon?
2015年7月4日 · It helps provide insight into the silicon silicon bond, but does not describe it as how silicon would bond with itself, but rather why it is ineffective. Even if it is ineffective, silicon does engage in bonding as an isolated compound (I would believe). However, I am curious as to what would be that bonding $\endgroup$ –
How does VB theory explain the Si-O-Si bond angles in SiO2?
COnsistent with this idea, researchers have argued since at least as far back as the 1960's that the “lone pairs” on oxygen in silicate are in fact not lone pairs, but are involved in $\pi$ bonding to the silicon. This is supported by the short Si-O bond lengths and high bond strength which suggest a bond order greater than 1.
Silicon–Boron Covalent Bond - Chemistry Stack Exchange
2020年12月20日 · Using your diagram, the boron-silicon bond with only the silicon electron has only half of the possible electron content. A "hole" as you said. The hole is not confined to the one $\ce{B-Si}$ bond, but can be in any of the 4 positions. It's not like the boron sits there and the silicon pops its electron into the potential bond; the bond is ...
Why is silicon oxide giant covalent structure?
2016年7月25日 · Carbon dioxide is a molecule with double bonds. Elements of 3+ rows are not happy with double bonds, they prefer single bonds, even in compounds like $\ce{H2SO4}$ 'double bonds' are actually dative single bonds.
Covalent vs Ionic bond in Silicon dioxide - Chemistry Stack Exchange
2018年3月30日 · I was wondering why silicon dioxide tends to be a covalent bond instead of an ionic bond. Based on lewis structures, the octet rule seems to work for silicon dioxide so shouldn't it also be an ioni...
Chemical bonding and crystal structure of silicon [duplicate]
2020年5月11日 · In a Silicon crystal, outermost Silicon atoms are probably oxidized yielding a monoatomic layer of Oxygen atoms, chemically bound by covalences like in $\ce{SiO_2}$, by analogy with Aluminium. Silicon and Aluminium are neighbors in the periodic table : they often have similar properties.
Why does carbon dioxide forms simple molecular structure, but …
2022年9月15日 · I was wondering about this in class, drawing the structures of carbon dioxide and silicon dioxide. Carbon and silicon are both in Group 4/14, but coming up with oxygen, one can only form a simple molecular structure while the other can form a giant covalent structure. I found no satisfactory in my chemistry textbook and online.
Chemical structure of SiO2 vs CO2 - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Additionally, silicon is a larger atom than carbon, so the bonding electron pair repulsion between the oxygens bonded to silicon in $\ce{SiO2}$ is much lower than what would occur if such a tetrahedrally coordinated $\ce{CO2}$ network could exist. Silica’s behaviour can, thus, be explained by enthalpy, MO theory and VSEPR.
Why do we not see silicon in a structure like graphite?
2015年8月12日 · The lack of pi-bonding in silicon is sometimes given as a rationalization for why silicon-based lifeforms can't exist, and explains why it's so hard to get silicon into the flat sheets that form silicene.
Does SiO₂ have polar covalent bonds or coordinate covalent bonds?
2013年3月21日 · In the case of $\ce{ SiO2 }$, The structure is actually tetrahedral, with an oxygen between and two silicon atoms, and where each oxygen forms two bonds and each silicon forms four bonds. In these bonds, each of the four valence electrons for silicon is shared singly with a single electron from one of the oxygens.
