chlorosilane
Sign in to savethumb | right | Space-filling model of the chlorosilane molecule, SiH3Cl In inorganic chemistry, chlorosilanes are a group of reactive, chlorine-containing chemical compounds, related to silane () and used in many chemical processes. Each such chemical has at least one silicon-chlorine () bond. Trichlorosilane is produced on the largest scale. The parent chlorosilane is silicon tetrachloride ().
