∙ 13y agoSilicon is a metalloid. This means that it has properties of both metals and non-metals, including the ability to conduct electricity.
Note that it does not conduct as much electricity as a metal and is often known as a semi-conductor.

∙ 7y agoThe conductivity of such semiconductors can vary quite a lot, depending on the amount of impurities they have. Pure silicon (or germanium) has a fairly low conductivity, but its conductivity gets much higher if impurities are added. In semiconductor technology, such impurities are added on purpose.

∙ 13y agoYes, Silicon does conduct electricity. It is a metalloid, also known as a semi-conductor. It doesn't conduct a strong electrical current but it does conduct.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoSilicon is used in some wires for computers and for computer chips, so yes, it does conduct electricity.

Does Silicon conduct heat?
yes
Does silicon tetrachloride conduct electricity?
yes
Does silicon carbide conduct electricity?
Does it have a Photovoltaic affect? Ive seen this in a pdf . Diamond Gives off a charge when rubbed "Carbon" and silicon makes electricity in the sun. So I think the conduct electricity. They however have large resistance to electricity and produce extreme heat eg Atkinson Furnace Carbon electrodes and Silicon used in pc components and electrical devices like resistors.So combining them should conduct electricity Jono
Does silicon dioxide conduct electricity?
Yes its a good conductor
Explain why graphite conduct electricity but silicon carbide does not?
Because graphite has one free electron that is not involved in bonding. The one delocalized electron can be used to conduct electricity. However silicon carbide is tetrahedrally bonded to 4 carbon atoms. There is not free electrons in the arrangement. With no delocalized electron, silicon carbide is unable to conduct electricity.
Does Silicon conduct heat?
yes
Is a metalloid a good conductor?
NO, a metalloid is not a good conduct of heat. -UND34D ASSASSIN
Does silicon conduct electriity?
no
Does sylicon conduct heat?
Yes. Iron has better conductivity of heat and electricity than water and will heat up very fast. The same goes with carbon and silicon. If u get a chance to test them then u will know which is better conductor ( silicon should be better conductor since it is a metalloid)
Does silicon conduct elecricity?
yes
Does silicon tetrachloride conduct electricity?
yes
Does silicon conduct electric current?
no it has glue in it

What is the heat of formation of silicon gas?
The heat of vaporization for silicon is 383 kJ/mol.
Why Does silicon dioxide conduct electricity?
Becuase there is silicon in the gas. Silicon is a form of metal so it would only make sense.
Does a teapot conduct heat?
can a teapot conduct heat
Is silicon a good conductor of elecricity?
No. Silicon is classed as a semiconductor. Meaning it has a moderate ability to conduct electricity.
