प्रश्न
Explain the following:
Silicon forms \[\ce{SiF^{2-}6}\] ion whereas corresponding fluoro compound of carbon is not known.
उत्तर
Silicon has 3d-orbitals in the valence shell and thus expands its octet giving sp3d2 hybridisation while d-orbitals are not present in the valence shell of carbon. It can undergo ip3-hybridisation only. Thus, carbon is unable to form \[\ce{CF^{2-}6}\] anion.
