The electronegativity of Si is more than that of C
B
Si-Si bonds are as strong as C-C bonds
C
Both C and Si can form `p pi-p pi` bond
D
Both `CO_2` and `SiO_2` has linear structures
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
The correct Answer is:
B
Si-C bond is also strong. Si does not form `p pi-p pi` bond due to its larger size. Carbon dioxide molecules is linear while `SiO_2` is a network of Si and atoms bonded by a single bond.
