| 344756 | 2005-04-14 05:27:00 | Greetings PressF1, currently I am learining molecule bonding. I was taught that there are only single- , double- and triple-bond. So, how about SiC? Silicon has 4 valence electrons and same thing goes to Carbon. Does it form quadruple bond then? Cheers :) | Renmoo (66) | ||

| 344758 | 2005-04-14 06:07:00 | Silicon carbide, a widely used engineering ceramic, for heat resistance and as an abrasive in sharpening stones and grinding wheels ("green wheels"), used to be used for grinding tungsten carbide tools in lieu of diamond wheels. This site would seem to answer your question James: www.uncp.edu though there are also quite a few more sites that explain the bonding mechanisms in ceramics. |

| 344761 | 2005-04-14 07:58:00 | I wonder is it possible to explain the way it is arranged using Lewis Diagram? Cheers :) | Renmoo (66) | ||
| 344762 | 2005-04-14 09:13:00 | "... and the music comes out here." :) What a cue Graham, Ok then, The music goes round and round........... www.redhotjazz.com We never, afaik, studied Lewis diagrams at school, there is some info here: www.ausetute.com.au But the only Lewis I really know about is Ted Lewis, which gives the excuse for another old tune: www.redhotjazz.com |
