Question 130

Multiple Choice

Picture (a) shows p-orbital overlap between carbon and oxygen atoms;picture (b) shows p-orbital overlap between silicon and oxygen atoms. Picture (a) shows p-orbital overlap between carbon and oxygen atoms;picture (b) shows p-orbital overlap between silicon and oxygen atoms.   Based on these pictures,it is expected that A) carbon and oxygen form better σ bonds than silicon and oxygen,so C-O single bonds are stronger than Si-O single bonds. B) silicon and oxygen form better σ bonds than carbon and oxygen,so Si-O single bonds are stronger than C-O single bonds. C) carbon and oxygen form better π bonds than silicon and oxygen,so C=O double bonds are stronger than Si=O double bonds. D) silicon and oxygen form better π bonds than carbon and oxygen,so Si=O double bonds are stronger than C=O double bonds.
Based on these pictures,it is expected that
