4. Silicon is an interesting atom because it behaves similarly to carbon. There is speculation in the scientific field that aliens could be made of silicon structures rather than carbon. The following structures are silicon versions of important carbon signaling molecules in our body. 1.) What is the electron geometry and hybridization for each of these structures? H-Si-H Si H- H. Silane Silanone Silicon Dioxide e geometry: hybridization: e geometry: hybridization: e geometry: hybridization: 2.) Based on what you have described above, match the orbital diagram below with the correct molecule above:
