Silicon monoxide is the chemical compound with the formula SiO where silicon is present in the oxidation state +2. In the vapour phase, it is a diatomic molecule. [ 1 ] It has been detected in stellar objects [ 2 ] and has been described as the most common oxide of silicon in the universe.
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 .
2 Si + 3 H 2 O → Na 2 SiO 3 + 3 H 2 Mg 2 Si + 2 H 2 SO 4 → 2 MgSO 4 + SiH 4. Products often vary with the stoichiometry of the silicide reactant. For example, Ca 2 Si is polar and non-conducting and has the anti-PbCl 2 structure with single isolated silicon atoms, and reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide, hydrated silicon dioxide ...
Again there is variation in composition: magnesium silicide is represented by Mg 2 Si, [9] calcium silicide can be represented by Ca 2 Si, CaSi, CaSi 2, Ca 5 Si 3 and by Ca 14 Si 19, [10] strontium silicide can be represented by Sr 2 Si, SrSi 2 and Sr 5 Si 3 [11] and barium silicide can be represented by Ba 2 Si, BaSi 2, Ba 5 Si 3 and Ba 3 Si 4 ...
Suboxides are sometimes visible when certain metals are exposed to small amounts of O 2: 22 Cs + 3 O 2 → 2 Cs 11 O 3 4 Cs 11 O 3 + 5 O 2 → 22 Cs 2 O. Several suboxides of caesium and rubidium have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. As of 1997, the inventory includes the following Rb 9 O 2, Rb 6 O, Cs 11 O 3, Cs 4 O, Cs 7 O, Cs 11 ...
In chemistry, the empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a compound. [1] A simple example of this concept is that the empirical formula of sulfur monoxide, or SO, is simply SO, as is the empirical formula of disulfur dioxide, S 2 O 2.
When there is a shortage of oxygen, cerium(IV) oxide is oxidizes carbon monoxide to the benign dioxide: [3] [4] 2 CeO 2 + CO → Ce 2 O 3 + CO 2. When oxygen is in surplus, the process is reversed and cerium(III) oxide is oxidized to cerium(IV) oxide: 2 Ce 2 O 3 + O 2 → 4 CeO 2
Two oxides of germanium are known: germanium dioxide (GeO 2, germania) and germanium monoxide, (GeO). [4] The dioxide, GeO 2 can be obtained by roasting germanium disulfide (GeS 2) or by allowing elemental germanium to slowly oxidze in air, [5] and is a white powder that is only slightly soluble in water but reacts with alkalis to form germanates.
