What is the chemical bond for silicon dioxide?

Answer 1

Silicon is a chemical element that has atomic number 14, symbolize as Si and less reactive because it is a tetravalent metalloid. It belongs to the covalent bond because it is unlikely to make an Ionic bond with the other elements.

Answer 2

Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is primarily held together by covalent bonds. The silicon atom shares electrons with four oxygen atoms, forming a tetrahedral structure. This results in a network solid with a high melting point and hardness.

Answer 3

Covalent bonding. It is a network covalent solid. Any time you have two of the same atoms together it will be some sort of covalent bonding (a specially kind of covalent bonding called metallic bonding in the case of two metals).

Answer 4

Polar Covalent

1.Both silicon and chlorine are nonmetals which means they have to make a covalent bond.

2. Silicon has an electronegativity (an atom's ability to attract electrons) of 1.8 while chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. This causes chlorine to have a negative charge, making the overall molecule polar.

Answer 5

All of the silicon chlorides have polar covalent bonds. The best known is SiCl4 (tetrachlorosilane, or silicon tetrachloride) The others such as Si2Cl6 and Si3Cl8 (similar generic formulae SinCl2n+2 as alkanes) also have covalent bonds polar ones between Si-Cl and non-polar between Si-Si.

Answer 6

Convalent bonds, because it is most likely not going to make ionic bonds with other elements

Answer 7

Covalent network bonds such as the ones found in diamonds

Answer 8

The bonds in silicon dioxide are covalent. Each silicon is joined to four oxygens, and each oxygen to two silicons. This links all the atoms into one giant molecule.

Answer 9

covalent bond

Answer 10

Polar Covalent
