Although stoichiometry similarities exists between the compounds of carbon and those of the remaining elements of group IV B, there

is no structural or chemical similarity between them. Ex : CO2 is gas SiO2 is solid. Reaction of the compounds of silicon and the lower elements of group donot give products analogous to those for carbon . For example the dehydration of alcohols gives alkene but the dehydration of silanols give different products accompained by condensation. In carbon multiple bonds involve overlap of the p - p variety mulitple bonding for silicon and germanium usually arise from p - d component especially in bonds to O and N. It is important to note that this does not usually lead to conjugation as is so prevalent for carbon. The p - d bonding character decreases with increase the atomic size down the group. Q.
