Question

why silicon does not form many compounds like carbon??​

Answer 1

Answer:

As a chlorine molecule approaches the benzene ring, the delocalised electrons in the ring repel electrons in the chlorine-chlorine bond. It is the slightly positive end of the chlorine molecule which acts as the electrophile. The presence of the aluminium chloride helps this polarisation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Silicon does not form many compounds that have handedness. In other words, it cannot process or store energy in a stable process like Carbon based enzymes can. ... The Silicon analogs of carbon compounds cannot be formed as they are too unstable or too reactive despite the reagants available to Chemists.
