Carbon is more electronegative than O and in case of$\mathrm{S}\mathrm{i}{\mathrm{O}}_2$oxygen is more electronegative than silicon

Carbon has small size and forms a$\mathrm{\pi }$bond with good overlap whereas silicon has larger size hence has a poor$\mathrm{\pi }$-overlap

First ionization potential of carbon is higher than that of silicon

Carbon has only 'p' orbitals and lacks 'd' orbitals whereas silicon has 'd' oribtals
