Monochlorosilane is a highly flammable, corrosive and toxic gas, which is heavier than air.

Extraction

Monochlorosilane can be prepared from silicon tetrachloride and lithium borohydride.

Properties

Monochlorosilane is a colorless gas at its hydrolysis primarily silanol ( Hydroxosilan ) arises, however, that condenses spontaneously to disiloxane.
