Oxygen atoms form two double bonds in silicon(IV) oxide.

Silicon(IV) oxide has a high melting point.

Explanation:

Silicon dioxide is structurally analogous to carbon dioxide in the sense that it also contains two oxygen atoms that are double bonded to silicon the central atom in the molecule.

Silicon dioxide has a very high melting point of about 1710 degrees centigrade because of its large macromolecular structure which requires much energy to break such intermolecular interactions.
