Explain the structure of silicon.
Asked by rahmani | 15 Nov, 2010, 12:00: AM
Expert Answer
Silicon and oxygen have a strong chemical affinity and therefore silicon only occurs naturally in the particularly stable form of Si-O compounds such as calcium, magnesium and iron silicates, as well as SiO2 as sand and quartz. The tetravelant structure is common to all compounds in which silicon is surrounded by oxygen atoms.
