👉 Silicohydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain silicon (Si) atoms and hydroxyl (-OH) groups. They are characterized by having a single, positive charge on the silicon atom and an electron pair attached to the oxygen group. Silica is a common source of silica in natural materials like sand, glass, and ceramics. Silicohydrocarbons can be categorized into two main types: alkali silicohydrocarbons (such as sodium silicate) and alkal
