Suppose that silicon could form molecules that are precisely the analogs of ethane 1C2H62, ethylene 1C2H42, and acetylene 1C2H22. How would you describe the bonding about Si in terms of hydrid orbitals? Silicon does not readily form some of the analogous compounds containing p bonds. Why might this be the case?
