Question

please give me 5 five differences between silicon and carbon compounds.​

Answer 1

Answer:

try it on google

Explanation:

solutions given in google

Answer 2

Answer:

Both carbon and silicon are members of the IVA family on the periodic table. Both carbon and silicon are non-metals. Silicon is only a little bit more metallic than carbon because it loses its electrons a little more easily. They both have a valence of 4

Electronegativity

C 2.5

Si 1.8

Size

As expected silicon is larger than carbon due to the presence of a second shell: i.e., C = 1s2 2s2 2p2 while Si = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2. A comparison of the relative sizes of carbon and silicon are given in Table.
