Silane is not just silicone hydrogen bond[edit]

The word silane does NOT exclusively refer to a Si-H bond for example tetramethylsilane, tetraethylsilane, or even tetrachlorosilane do not have any Si-H bonds. This page would imply that a Si-H bond is exclusively a silane but THIS IS NOT TRUE. A Si-H bond is generally referred to as a "silyl hydride" or "silicon hydride." Many students are making this mistake and this page needs to be corrected. I am a PhD chemist with 7 years of experience in this area naming silicon and silicone compounds. Any look at publications would show my statements to be correct.--theslave (talk) 19:49, 23 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slavefortheempire (talk • contribs)

Thanks for the correction. I wouldn't worry too much, though. Any student who uses Wikipedia as their primary source of chemistry knowledge is foolish. And nomenclature is one of the less important topics in chemistry, in my opinion. Chemicals don't care what humans decide to call them. --Ben (talk) 20:26, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Doubly-bonded silicon stays tetravalent, does not became trivalent.[edit]

This is just like in carbon compositions: carbon in ethylene CH₂=CH₂ is tetravalent, too.JOb 14:32, 2 June 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by JOb (talk • contribs)
