Silicon Tetrafluoride
Si-silicone
F=fluorine
4=four
SiF4 is actually a compound called Silicon Tetrafluoride, which is composed of 2 elements (silicon and fluorine)
This compound contain silicon and fluorine.
SiF4 is silicon tetrafluoride.
Silicon tetrafluoride
Its Si + 2F2 = SiF4
SiF4
siF4
SiF4 is a covalent molecule. The rule that a bond is ionic if the difference in electronegativities is >1.7 is only a rule-of-thumb. It has a low melting point etc. and all the characteristics of a covalent molecular substance. The covalent bonds however are very polarised and SiF4 is rapidly hydrolysed by water.
AlF3 exist as a dimer in the form Al2F6 as there are attraction between two dimers they are difficult to seperate therefore it has high melting point. In case of SiF4 no dimer is formed
SiF4 is a polar covalent compound
SiF4 is a molecule
No, SiF4 does not have a chiral center.
The name of SiF4 is Silicon Tetrafluoride.
Its Si + 2F2 = SiF4
SiF4 is the formula. The compound is Silicon tetra-fluoride Si and 4F.
yes
Tetrahedral
Covalent!!
No, it is a covalent molecule.
Tetraheral
Molecular because it is between 2 non-metals.
