Question

Assertion : Si-Si bonds are much stronger than Si-O bonds.

Answer 1

$Hey buddy here is ur answer$


》 The reason the Si-Si bond is weaker than C-C is simply that because the Si atom is bigger than the C atom the electrons forming the bond are farther from the nuclei and don't lower their energy as much by forming the bond.

Answer 2

Si-O bond is stronger than Si-Si bond and pπ-dπ bonding between silicon atoms is not possible due to its larger size.
