This is not a replacement reaction. And the silicon chloride is SiCl4.


What compound is created when Si is combined with Cl2 in a polar covalent bond?

Silicon tetrachloride, with formula SiCl4


How many grams of chlorine are required to combine with 24.4grams of silicon to form silicon tetrachloride?

Si + 2Cl2 --> SiCl4 24.4 grams silicon (1 mole Si/28.09 grams)(2 mole Cl2/1 mole Si)(70.9 grams/1 mole Cl2) = 123 grams chlorine needed =====================

Yes. Si bonds are tetrahedral.


What is the balanced equation for Silicon tetrachloride and water?

Silicon does not have a balanced equation because it is just an element. It's symbol is Si but a chemical equation cannot take place unless you hae more than one element involved.A. O B. g C. s D. Ca

What is Si Cl?

Si is the symbol for silicon. Cl refers to chlorine. The compound formed by these elements is silicon chloride SiCl4.


How many lone pairs of electrons are there in valence shell of the central atom of SiCl4?

Ok Um, I do know the Answer, There are no Lone Pairs of Electrons in the Valence Shell of The Central Atom of SiCl4, because: Si has the Number Configuration of: 2,8,4 The '4' is the number of dots, it has surrounding Si, one above Si, one under Si, one on the right side of Si, one on the left side of Si. Cl has the Number Configuration of: 2,8,7 The '7' is the number of dots, it has surrounding Cl, you can have it in any order, i.e. one above Cl, two under Cl, two on the right side of Cl, two on the left side of Cl. But when you join SiCl4 together, and make it into a Lewis Structure, then the Central Atom is Si, Then Si will have one Cl bonding above Si, one Cl bonding under Si, one Cl bonding on the right side of Si, one Cl bonding on the left side of Si, and now all you can see, is that Si has Four Cl, attaching, bonding to Si, and now Si doesnt have any Lone Pairs
