rather than long chains. Despite these similarities, silicon is considerably more electropositive than carbon, and silicon compounds do not readily recombine into different permutations in a manner that would plausibly support lifelike processes. Silicon is abundant on Earth, but as it is more electropositive and in a water based environment it forms Si-O bonds rather than Si-Si bonds. Boron does not react with acids
