Disiloxane groups, Si–O–Si, tend to have larger bond angles than their carbon counterparts, C–O–C. The Si–O–Si angle ranges from about 130–180°, whereas the C–O–C angle in ethers is typically 107–113°. Si–O–C groups are intermediate, tending to have bond angles smaller than Si–O–Si but larger than C–O–C.
The Si−O bond length is 1.64 Å (vs Si–C distance of 1.92 Å) and the Si-O-Si angle is rather open at 142.5°. [3] By contrast, the C−O distance in a typical dialkyl ether is much shorter at 1.414(2) Å with a more acute C−O−C angle of 111°. [ 4 ]
For example, in the solid state at a temperature of 108 K, disiloxane itself has an Si−O−Si bond angle of 142°. [2] In contrast, the C−O−C bond angle in the carbon analogue of disiloxane, dimethyl ether, is 111°. [4] The unusual bond angle in disiloxane has been attributed primarily to negative hyperconjugation between oxygen p ...
Like a TFT-LCD display, millions of roughly 0.2 mm pixels each containing a thin-film transistor form a grid patterned in amorphous silicon on the glass substrate. [1] Unlike an LCD, but similar to a digital camera's image sensor chip, each pixel also contains a photodiode which generates an electrical signal in proportion to the light produced ...
28 Si (the most abundant isotope, at 92.23%), 29 Si (4.67%), and 30 Si (3.1%) are stable. The longest-lived radioisotope is 32 Si, which is produced by cosmic ray spallation of argon . Its half-life has been determined to be approximately 150 years (with decay energy 0.21 MeV), and it decays by beta emission to 32 P (which has a 14.27-day half ...
With the formula Si 1−x Ti x O 2, it consists of silicalite with Ti doped into some Si sites. Unlike conventional polymorphs of titanium dioxide, the Ti centers in titanium silicalite have tetrahedral coordination geometry. The material is a useful catalyst for the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with propylene to give propylene oxide. [2]
The desired size of margin around the tumour can vary. In resections for breast cancer, there appears to be a difference between European and American radiation oncologists, with the former preferring larger margins of over 5 mm.

An illustration of the heel effect in an x-ray tube. In X-ray tubes, the heel effect or, more precisely, the anode heel effect is a variation of the intensity of X-rays emitted by the anode depending on the direction of emission along the anode-cathode axis.
