Suppose that silicon could form molecules that are precisely the analogs of ethane (C2H6), ethylene (C2H4), and acetylene (C2H2). How would you describe the bonding about Si in terms of hydrid orbitals? Silicon does not readily form some of the analogous compounds containing π bonds. Why might this be the case?
