A silicon–oxygen bond (Si−O bond) is a chemical bond between silicon and oxygen atoms that can be found in many inorganic and organic compounds. [1] In a silicon–oxygen bond, electrons are shared unequally between the two atoms, with oxygen taking the larger share due to its greater electronegativity.
The C–Si bond is somewhat polarised towards carbon due to carbon's greater electronegativity (C 2.55 vs Si 1.90), and single bonds from Si to electronegative elements are very strong. [14] Silicon is thus susceptible to nucleophilic attack by O − , Cl − , or F − ; the energy of an Si–O bond in particular is strikingly high.
Orthosilicic acid (/ ˌ ɔːr θ ə s ɪ ˈ l ɪ s ɪ k /) is an inorganic compound with the formula Si(O H) 4. Although rarely observed, it is the key compound of silica and silicates and the precursor to other silicic acids [H 2x SiO x+2] n. Silicic acids play important roles in biomineralization and technology.
Dimethyldichlorosilane (Si(CH 3) 2 Cl 2) is a key precursor to cyclic (D 3, D 4, etc.) and linear siloxanes. [5] The main route to siloxane functional group is by hydrolysis of silicon chlorides: 2 R 3 Si−Cl + H 2 O → R 3 Si−O−SiR 3 + 2 HCl. The reaction proceeds via the initial formation of silanols (R 3 Si−OH): R 3 Si−Cl + H 2 O ...
In chemistry, a silicic acid (/ s ɪ ˈ l ɪ s ɪ k /) is any chemical compound containing the element silicon attached to oxide (=O) and hydroxyl (−OH) groups, with the general formula [H 2x SiO x+2] n or, equivalently, [SiO x (OH) 4−2x] n. [1] [2] Orthosilicic acid is a representative example.
Silicon is a chemical element; it has symbol Si and atomic number 14. It is a hard, brittle crystalline solid with a blue-grey metallic lustre, and is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor . It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table: carbon is above it; and germanium , tin , lead , and flerovium are below it.
In organic chemistry, ethers are a class of compounds that contain an ether group—a single oxygen atom bonded to two separate carbon atoms, each part of an organyl group (e.g., alkyl or aryl). They have the general formula R−O−R′, where R and R′ represent the organyl groups.
The general formula is (Si x O 3x) 2x−, where one or more silicon atoms can be replaced by other 4-coordinated atom(s). The silicon:oxygen ratio is 1:3. Double rings have the formula (Si 2x O 5x) 2x− or a 2:5 ratio. The Nickel–Strunz classification is 09.C. Possible ring sizes include:
