Silicide

A silicide is a compound that has silicon with (usually) more electropositive elements.

Silicon is more electropositive than carbon. Silicides are structurally closer to borides than to carbides.

Similar to borides and carbides, the composition of silicides cannot be easily specified as covalent molecules. The chemical bonds in silicides range from conductive metal-like structures to covalent or ionic. Silicides of all non-transition metals, with exception of beryllium, have been described.

Mercury, thallium, bismuth, and lead are nonmiscible with liquid silicon.

Silicon atoms in silicides can have many possible organizations:

Isolated silicon atoms: electrically conductive Cu₅Si, (V,Cr,Mn)₃Si, Fe₃Si, Mn₃Si, and nonconductive (Mg,Ge,Sn,Pb)₂Si, (Ca,Ru,Ce,Rh,Ir,Ni)₂Si

Si₂ pairs: U₃Si₂, Hf and Th silicides

Si₄tetrahedra: KSi, RbSi, CsSi

Si_n chains: USi, (Ti, Zr, Hf, Th, Ce, Pu)Si, CaSi, SrSi, YSi

Planar hexagonal graphite-like Si layers: β-USi₂, silicides of other lanthanoids and actinoids

Corrugated hexagonal Si layers: CaSi₂

Shelter

by: Celesty

[Amardon:]
Running away, hours or days
Finally I'm free the gates before me I see
Holding the stones must find a place to hide
Must keep them away, from the demonic shrine
My army is fighting for me
For the stones, or we'll never be free
Keepers of light.
Shall behold their might.
To arms of gods I will give my life.
Escaped from the dark.
Their light in my heart.
Divine was their meaning to keep me alive.
Now take these stones, hide them like gold
To place filled with love, This is what spirits told
We must fight for the stones, to last standing man
We won't see tomorrow, they'll destroy this land
My army is fighting for me
For the stones, or we'll never be free
Keepers of light
Shall behold their might
To arms of gods I will give my life
Escaped from the dark
Their light in my heart
