Silicon in its pure form is not easily decomposed by chemical means, as it has strong covalent bonds. However, it can be decomposed by reacting with strong oxidizing agents at high temperatures to form silicon dioxide.
Xenon cannot be decomposed by chemical means because it is a noble gas with a stable electron configuration, making it very unreactive.
The chemical symbol for silicon is Si.
Water cannot be decomposed by chemical means. Unlike sodium, sucrose, and ethanol, which can be broken down into their constituent elements and compounds, water remains a stable molecule regardless of the chemical reactions it undergoes.
The chemical symbol of silicon tetrabromide is SiBr4. It is a silicon compound where silicon is bonded to four bromine atoms.
A molecule of silicon dioxide (SiO2) is formed through a chemical means, specifically a covalent bond. In this case, the silicon and oxygen atoms share electrons to form a stable structure known as a molecule.
