Talk:Silicide

Magnesium-germanium-tin-lead silicide?

In this article one of the nonconductive silicides listed is quoted as (Mg,Ge,Sn,Pb)₂Si. But Mg₂Si is a semiconductor that is being considered for use in thermoelectrics, and modified versions of it have the heavier Group 14 elements substituting for silicon instead of magnesium so the compound would be Mg₂(Si,Ge,Sn,Pb). You may want to check the WP article on magnesium silicide. Olthe3rd1 (talk) 00:46, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

pronunciation

In English, do you say silly-side or silly-kide? The latter would be suggested by the pronunciation of Silicon. OsamaBinLogin (talk) 19:18, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Sodium Silicide

The article seems to spell it as Na₂Si, whereas I would imagine it would be Na₄Si, analogous with Silane SiH₄. Are these typos? The Sodium silicide article doesn't help, it spells it as NaSi or Na₄Si₄. So I'm completely confused. 🤯 OsamaBinLogin (talk) 19:38, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
