Binary silicon-hydrogen compounds are saturated chemical compounds with the empirical formula SiHₙ. All contain tetrahedral silicon and terminal hydrides. They only have Si–H and Si–Si single bonds. The bond lengths are 146.0 pm for a Si–H bond and 233 pm for a Si–Si bond. The structures of the silanes are analogues of the alkanes, starting with silane, SiH₄, the analogue of methane, continuing with disilane Si₂H₆, the analogue of ethane, etc.
