Description
About the Book
Silicon (Si) is a metalloid belonging to the carbon family (Group 14). It is a hard tetravalent metalloid and has a blue-grey metallic sheen. Silicon is a brittle crystalline solid having properties of a semiconductor. Organometallic compounds that contain carbon-silicon bonds are called organosilicon compounds. The area of chemistry under which the preparation and properties of organometallic compounds are studied is called organosilicon chemistry. Some of the prominent properties of organosilicon compounds include being colourless, flammable and hydrophobic. They have various applications in agriculture and commercial production. Within agriculture, they are used to increase the effectiveness of various herbicides and fungicides. They are also used to make antifoamers, caulks, adhesives and coatings. This book includes some of the vital pieces of works being conducted across the world, on various topics related to organosilicon chemistry. It will also provide interesting topics for research, which interested readers can take up. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.Book Synopsis
