It is stronger because the electron configuration of Carbon is 2.4 and of Silicon is 2.8.4. Because more rings are filled by the electrons in silicon the outer shell is further away from the nucleus. Therefore, the attraction between the electrons and protons (electrostatic attraction) in the nucleus is less than in CH4. Hope this helps.

Why are the structures CH4 and SiH4 so similar?
Both have no lone pairs.They have even bonds
Which is have highest boiling point Ne N2 O2 Cl2 SiH4?
The boiling point in degree Celsius are given below:Na: 883K: 774Si: 2355Ne: -246Silicon has the highest boiling point among the elements given.
Is CH4 a convalent or ionic bond?
CH4 represents a molecule, not a bond at all. The bonds within this molecule are covalent.
