Silicon, like carbon, is relatively inactive at ordinary temperatures. But, when heated, it reacts vigorously with the halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, cmd iodine) to form halides and with certain metals to form silicides. It is unaffected by all acids except hydrofluoric. At red heat, silicon is attacked by water vapor or by oxygen, forming a surface layer of silicon dioxide. When silicon and carbon are combined at electric furnace temperatures of 2,000 to 2,600 °C (3,600 to 4700 °F), they form silicon carbide (Carborundum = SiC), which is an Importeint abrasive. When reacted with hydrogen, silicon forms a series of hydrides, the silanes. Silicon also forms a series of organic silicon compounds called silicones, when reacted with various organic compounds.

A mixture of lignosulfonates, alkali-treated brown coal, and minor amounts of organic silicon compounds (e.g., ethyl silicone) reduces the permeability of cements [1019]. The additives may interact with the crystallization centers of the cement slurry and form a gel system in its pores and capillaries, thus reducing the permeability of the cement and increasing its isolating capability. Furthermore, it is claimed that the additive retards the setting rate of cement up to 200° C and increases the resistance to corrosive media. 

Considerable literature is currently available about these species. The review by Raabe and Michl in 1985 on Multiple Bonding to Silicon 6 is certainly the most detailed and complete reference to the topic to that date. Subsequently a number of other reviews that provide additional details of more limited areas of the field have been written by Brook and Baines,7 Cowley and Norman,8 Gordon,9 Shklover et al.,w Grev,11 and Lickiss.12 In addition, much information is to be found in The Chemistry of Organic Silicon Compounds edited by Patai and Rappoport,13 especially in chapters 2, 3, 8, 15, and 17.
