Answer 1

Answer:

Two characteristic differences between \(C\) and \(Si\) based on the absence of d-orbitals in its valence shell. ... \(C\) does not exhibit coordination number greater than \(4\) as it does not contain empty d orbital and hence cannot expand its covalency beyond \(4\). \(Si\) can exhibit covalency of \(6\). 2.
