Question
Chapter 2, Problem 4TS
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Why silicon is not like carbon though they both have 4 valence electrons.
Introduction:
Carbon has two properties that make it integral in so many molecules. They are tetravalency and catenation. Tetravalency is the four valence electrons the carbon has in its outermost shell. So it can share four electrons. Catenation is a property wherein carbon can bond with itself to make long chains.
