| Silicon is not reactive with : Nitric, Hydrochloric, and Sulfuric Acids It is soluble in hydrofluoric acids which creates a gas--Silicon Tetrafluoride Silicon is reactive with: Temperatures are a variable in how Silicon reacts. In normal temperatures Silicon is not reactive with air. Although, in high temperatures the silicon reacts with oxygen which creates a layer of silica (silicon dioxide). In very high temperatures Silicon will react with nitrogen and chlorine to form silicon nitride and silicon chloride. |
