Which of the two elements, carbon and silicon , forms multiple bonds ?

Answer» Due to smaller size and higher electronegatively , carbon undergoes `ppi- ppi` overlop to form multiple bonds but silicon does not.
For example , `CO_(2)` has `C = O` double bond but `SiO_(2)` has only `Si-O` single bonds.
