Sheet silicate
Pyrosilicate
Three dimensional silicate
Linear chain silicate
The catenation tendency of C, Si and Ge is in the order Ge < Si < C. The bond energies (in kJ mol-1) of C-C, Si-Si and Ge-Ge bonds, respectively are
348, 167, 180
348, 180, 167
167, 180, 348
180, 167, 348
Number of oxygen atoms shared per Si tetrahedron in
I. two dimensional sheet structured silicates
II. cyclic silicates and
III. single strand chain silicates respectively are
3, 3, 2
3, 2, 2

Pure silicon doped with phosphorus is a
metallic conductor
insulator
n-type semiconductor
p-type semiconductor
Dry ice is
solid CO2
solid camphor
solid SO2
solid NO2
C.
solid SO2
Solid CO2 is called dry ice because it changes to vapour state directly without changing to liquid state.
