Silicon was discovered by a Swedish scientist. Silicon itself is not found in one nation, but can be found all over the world (usually mixed in other substances such as clay or mica).
it was found in 1823
Silicon is added to the tig rods in production. Use a gas weld rod which does not have the silicon and the weld will be full of porosity.
silicon and germanium
Photovoltaic cells are made out of semiconductors- materials that partially conduct electricity. Generally, the cheapest and most used semiconductor is silicon. When the sun's rays come through the glass, the silicon absorbs a narrow range of energy from the light- this is called its' band gap. When the energy is absorbed, the electrons in the silicon become very exicted, and they gain enough energy to escape from the silicon
A silicon transistor is a transistor made of silicon.
where does the element silicon come from? where does the element silicon come from?
flint

Silicon got its name from the Latin word silex (flint).
China produces the most silicon, at about 2/3 of the world's utilization.
It comes from the latin "silice"

Silicon is added to the tig rods in production. Use a gas weld rod which does not have the silicon and the weld will be full of porosity.
Silicon is generally found in quartz (silicon dioxide) and rarely as a singular element (pure silicon crystals can rarely be found with gold/volcanic exhalations). It can also be found in silicate formations like granite, sandstone, and sand.
Is silica from silicon sand? I am allergic to silocon.
