Silicanes are few in numberwhereasalkanes are large in number. Explain |
|
Answer» Solution :Carbon has the MAXIMUM tendency for catenation due to stronger `C-C (348kJ "mol"^(-1))`bonds. Asa RESULT, it formsa largenumber of ALKANES. Silicon, on the other hand, due to other hand, due to weaker `Si-Si(297 KJ mol^(-1))`bonds has muchlesser tendency for catenationand henceforms only a few silanes. |
