The hybridization of Si in SiO2 is sp3.
Si : [Ne]3s23p2
SiO2 forms a covalent network in which the Si atoms form 4 single bonds to oxygen atoms. The oxygen atoms form 2 single bonds (and have two lone pairs) to Si atoms.
Si is in the same group as C but because it contains the d orbitals (empty but there), Si is two large to form pi bonds.
The molecular shape for SiOH2 is bent (angular) with a bond angle of approximately 109.5 degrees. The silicon atom is surrounded by two oxygen atoms bonded to it, leading to this geometry.
The molecular compound SiB6 is called silicon hexaboride.
The molecular geometry of carbon tetra bromide is tetrahedral.
The molecular geometry of CS2 is linear. This molecule consists of a central carbon atom bonded to two sulfur atoms, and there are no lone pairs on the central atom. The bonds and atoms are arranged in a straight line, giving it a linear molecular geometry.
Silicon oxide has a giant molecular structure, with each silicon atom bonded to four oxygen atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. This structure forms a network of interconnected silicon and oxygen atoms, giving silicon oxide its solid and rigid properties.
Silicon Tetrafluoride has a tetrahedral molecular geometry. That means there are 4 F atoms around the central atom Si.
The molecular geometry of the silicate ion (SiO3^2−) is trigonal planar. In this ion, the silicon atom is centrally located and is bonded to three oxygen atoms, which are arranged symmetrically around it at approximately 120-degree angles. This geometry arises due to the sp² hybridization of the silicon atom, allowing for optimal bonding with the surrounding oxygen atoms.
The molecular geometry is octahedral.
The molecular geometry of C2H2Br2 is trigonal planar.The molecular geometry of C2H2Br2 is trigonal planar.
The molecular geometry of secl2 is BENT.
The molecular geometry of HClO is bent.
The molecular geometry of N2O2 is linear.
The molecular geometry of IF4- is square planar.
The molecular geometry of NHF2 is trigonal pyramidal.
Carbon dioxide is a molecular compound with the formula CO2
See-saw is the molecular geometry, and trigonal bi-pyramidal is the orbital geometry.
Asymmetric tetrahedral. In the case of SiHCl3 , Si(Silicon) being below C in Group 4 is in the same orientation; that is it is at the centre. THe hydrogen and the three chlorines are attached individually to the central silicon, in the same manner as the four hydrogens in methane.
