Which is the correct name of a compound that is formed by si and o? silicon dioxide, silicon trioxygen, disilicon dioxygen, monosilicon oxide

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Silicon is a non-metal and it shows oxidation state of +4 or -4. This is because it can either gain 4 electrons or lose 4 electrons.

Whereas oxidation state of oxygen atom when it combines with silicon is -2.

Therefore, when silicon combines with oxygen atom then charge on silicon is +4 and charge on oxygen atom is -2. So, it results into the formation of .

Hence, the reaction will be as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that correct name of the compound is silicon dioxide.

explanation:

venn diagram is pictorial representation with of circles showing the relation between two finite sets or things. the intersection part of two circles conveys the relation present in between those sets or things.

here in the venn diagram of sand and salt two circles represent sand and salt. but the area falling under the intersection of these circle represents the mixture of sand and salt.

so, in a venn diagram the mixture will be placed in a middle that is in between the intersection of two circles.
