Question

What is the reactivity of silicon compounds?Are they highly or less reactive?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The reduced bond energy in crystalline silicon renders the element lower melting, softer, and chemically more reactive than diamond.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Pure silicon is too reactive to be found in nature, but it is found in practically all rocks as well as in sand, clays, and soils, combined either with oxygen as silica (SiO2, silicon dioxide) or with oxygen and other elements (e.g., aluminum, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, or iron) as silicates.
