What is silicon composed of?

Answer 1

silicones are classified as metalloid as it is a semi conductor. moreover,they are water repellent,inert,can resist high temperature without decomposing,and are in the form of oil and wax....

Answer 2

Silicon is an element that has:

It boiling point= 2355 C (4271 F
In the group of =metalloid
Uses= Glass,ceramic, and semiconductor divices
Facts=
On Earth, silicon is the second most abundant element (after oxygen) in the crust, making up 25.7% of the crust by mass.
*Silicon is found in the sun and the stars.
*Silicon transmits over 95% of infrared wavelength.
*Silicon is an important ingredient in steel.
*Diatoms in both fresh and salt water extract silica from the water to use as a component of the plant's cell walls.
*Today, silicon is purified by converting it to a silicon compound that can be more easily purified than in its original state.
freezing point is not found

Answer 3

I thought it was a large type of siloxanes that is stable for an overwide ranges of degree of temperatures. Also it's used in making body implants. thanks for a good Question.

Answer 4

It is an element, so it is not composed of elements, like molecules are (such as carbon dioxide).

So… it is composed of protons, neutrons and electrons (although this is true of every element, of course).

Answer 5

Silicon Sealer contains Silicon. Silicon sealer is a rubbery plastic used for sealing, E.g. Surfaces to Kitchen Walls.
