| has gloss | eng: Silicon hydrides are chemical compounds which contain a silicon-hydrogen bond. The silicon to hydrogen bond is longer than the C–H bond (148 compared to 105 pm) and weaker (299 compared to 338 kJ/mol). Hydrogen is more electronegative than silicon hence the naming convention of silyl hydrides. The parent compound SiH4 is called silane, and an example is phenylsilane. Silyl hydrides are very reactive and used as reducing agents for example PMHS. |
| lexicalization | eng: silyl hydride |
| instance of | (noun) any binary compound formed by the union of hydrogen and other elements hydride |
