C and Si are placed in the same group, because

C and Si both have same lattice structure, having 4 bonding electrons in each. However, C is insulator whereas Si is intrinsic semiconductor. This is because

C, Si and Ge have same lattice structure. Why is C insulator, while Si and Ge intrinsic semiconductors ?

Assertion (A) : C,Si and Ge have 4 Valancy each both but C is an insulator where as Si and Ge are semi conductors Reason ( R) : Energy gap is least for Ge , less for Si compared to C , So that free electrons for conduction in Ge and Si are significant but negligible small for C .

Assertion: Silicones are resistant to heat, oxidation and most chemicals. Reason: The silicones (a) have stable silica-like six electron owning the high bond energy of Si-O bond and (b) have high strength of Si-C
