Silicide

A silicide is a type of chemical compound that combines silicon and a (usually) more electropositive element. Silicon is more electropositive than carbon. Silicides are structurally closer to borides than to carbides. Similar to borides and carbides, the composition of silicides cannot be easily specified as covalent molecules. The chemical bonds in silicides range from conductive metal-like structures to covalent or ionic. Silicides of all non-transition metals, with exception of beryllium, have been described.

Making Magnesium Silicide and Explosive Silane Gas

Warning: this experiment is dangerous and possibly explosive. Proper care must be taken. Magnesium silicide reacts with HCl to produce silane gas. Silane gas is pyrophoric, which means that it spontaneously combusts in contact with air at temperatures below 54C. The silane gas erupts into

Silicate crystal structures

Silicate minerals are very common. There are many different structures that include silicate tetrahedra (SiO4)^(4-) building blocks. These blocks can be three dimensionall corner-shared as in quartz cristobalite, isolated as in forsterite, sharing one corner between two tetrahedra as in Ak
