Is sio2 combustible?
Silicon Dioxide occurs as a white fine powder of less than 15µm in average paticle diameter, it is not combustible.combustion of silane give silicon dioxideSiH4 + 2 O2 → SiO2 + 2 H2O.

Does halides contain silicon?
Yes, halides can contain silicon. Silicon can form halides by combining with elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine to create silicon halides. Examples of silicon halides include silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4) and silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4).
