Question
Chapter 11, Problem 74E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: It is given that, the instability of long chains of silicon atoms play a very important role in its decomposition. The reason of the fact that, the similar mechanism not be expected to play a very important role in the decomposition of long chains of carbon atoms is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The linkage of atoms through covalent bond to form longer chains and structures is known as catenation.
To determine: The reason of the fact that, the similar mechanism (as of silicon) not be expected to play a very important role in the decomposition of long chains of carbon atoms.
