Sadly for silicon, there are a lot of ways in which it's simply not as good as carbon. The biggest difference is that carbon can catenate. In other words, it can form strong chemical bonds with itself, meaning that carbon can form rings, chains and cages in all manner of shapes and sizes.The number of possible structures that carbon can make is theoretically infinite. Silicon, on the other hand, doesn't much like to catenate. Silicon-silicon bonds are relatively weak, so silicon chains are unstable. So much so that, at least under Earth-like conditions, it's extremely difficult to form any silicon chains at all. Let alone rings or anything else. Disilane will actually combust spontaneously in air. Water too, will break it apart (forming silicic acids). Also, as I found out previously, silicon isn't even too fond of bonding with carbon. thsi

There are lots of fascinating things out there in the cosmos. Galaxies, black holes, interstellar clouds and the like. Personally though, I just love stars. I guess that's why I decided to study them in more detail. Even the most mundane stars are fascinating when you look at them closely enough. But stars can be intricate and complex things, with eventful lives - especially when they're partnered with other stars. Not all stars live alone like the Sun does. A great many go around in pairs or even larger systems. These star systems are fascinating indeed, to professionals and amateurs alike. Without further ado, then, I present to you my own Top 10 most interesting multiple star systems!
