Can you explain briefly why silicic acid H2SiO3 is a weak acid and perichlorate acid HClO4 is a strong acid?
Chlorine (Cl) is much more electronegative than silicon (Si). This means that chlorine exerts a much stronger "pull" on the electrons in a perchloric acid molecule than silicon does in a silicic acid molecule. The stronger pull makes it easier for a hydrogen ion (H+) to break away. The greater the degree of dissociation the stronger the acid.
Perchloric acid dissociates completely in water, thus marking it as a strong acid. Silicic acid only dissociates partially, thus marking as a weak acid.

Silicic acid
What is the chemical name for H2SiO3?
SiO2 is a covalent network compound known as Silicon dioxide.
Why silicon chloride fumes in air?
Silicon chloride (SiCl4) fumes in air because it reacts with moisture (H2O) in the air to form hydrochloric acid (HCl) and silicic acid (H2SiO3). These reactions release heat and produce fumes that may be visible. Additionally, silicon chloride is a volatile compound, meaning it easily transitions from a liquid to a gas when exposed to air.

Do boron and silicon have a diagonal relationship?
(1) Both boron and silicon are typical non-metals, having high m.pt. b.pt nearly same densities (B=2.35gml-1 S=2.34 g//ml). low atomic volumes and bad conductor of current. However both are used as semiconductors. (2) Both of them do not form cation and form only covalent compounds. (3) Both exists in amorphous and crystalline state and exhibit allotropy. (4) Both possess closer electronegativity values (B=2.0; Si=1.8). (5) Both form numerous volatile hydrides which spontaneously catch fire on exposure to air and are easily hydrolysed. (6) The chlorides of both are liquid, fume in most air and readily hydrolysed by water. BCl3 + 3H2O → B(OH)3 + 3HCl SiCl4 + H2O → Si(OH)4 + 4HCl (7) Both form weak acids like H3BO3 and H2SiO3. (8) Both form binary compounds with several metals to give borides and silicide.
