Why does silicon form a stronger bond with fluorine than it does with oxygen?
Got it. Thanks for explaining that. Are there any other important factors that can affect bond strength in materials like silicon?
Another important factor is the shape and orientation of the bond. In some cases, a bond between two atoms or molecules might be stronger if they are oriented in a particular way, or if their shapes are complementary to each other. Additionally, the temperature and pressure at which a bond is formed can also affect its strength.
