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).
Silicon itself is odorless. However, certain compounds containing silicon, such as silane or silicon tetrachloride, have distinct, unpleasant smells.
