is silicon-oxygen tetrahedron(SiO4) stable or unstable? is there covalent or ionic bonding?
Im not sure but i think it is stable and there's ionic boding. Silicon gives away one electron to every oxygen molecule making silicon a +4 ion and making each oxygen molecule have a charge of -1. b/c there are 4 oxygen molecules there's a total of a -4 charge for the oxygen. This makes them attracted to each other.
Is this correct?
Can there also be covalent bonding?
can anyone help me out
