inorganic chemistry - Rate of hydrolysis of silicon tetrahalides ...
2019年2月11日 · But if the $\ce{Si}$ atom becomes more and more electrophilic, the attack by a water molecule becomes more easier which subsequently results in the increase of the rate of …
intermolecular forces - Why does silicon tetrafluoride have a …
So looking at the Wikipedia pages of sulfur tetrafluoride and silicon tetrafluoride, the melting points are −121 °C and −90 °C respectively, and so $\ce{SiF4}$ has the higher melting point.
Comparing the Lewis acidity of carbon tetrafluoride and silicon ...
2015年5月8日 · Both molecules can theoretically act as a Lewis acid. This would involve the approach of a Lewis base (i.e. a lone pair-carrying group), its interaction with the central atom …
Why does SiH4 have unusually large bond angles?
2020年1月8日 · The geometry depends on the nature of the doublets around the central atom. If the doublets are all bonding, like in $\ce{CH4},$ $\ce{SiH4}$ and $\ce{GeH4},$ the geometry …
inorganic chemistry - Towards a hard Lewis base like water which …
2021年7月7日 · On Pauling scale, both $\ce{Si}$ and $\ce{Sn}$ have electronegativity value of $\mathrm{1.9}$.The difference is in size of d-orbitals which accept lone pair of electrons.
inorganic chemistry - Order of boiling point of group 14 halides ...
2020年6月14日 · $\begingroup$ @Sanu_012 You don't necessarily have to memorize it I guess. C has got a much greater capacity for catenation as compared to Si, and so the number of …
