Oxidation of organosilicon compounds, including siloxanes, gives silicon dioxide. This conversion is illustrated by the combustion of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane: ((CH 3) 2 SiO) 3 + 12 O 2 → 3 SiO 2 + 6 CO 2 + 9 H 2 O. Strong base degrades siloxane group, often affording siloxide salts: ((CH 3) 3 Si) 2 O + 2 NaOH → 2 (CH 3) 3 SiONa + H 2 O
Silicon dioxide; From a chemical formula: This is a redirect from a chemical/molecular formula to its systematic (technical) or trivial name.
