Also called common silica, it may exist in crystalline form as quartz, or as an amorphous solid (or supercooled liquid) called glass. Physically it is quite durable, hard and resists high temperatures but exhibits a brittle fracture. Chemically it is covalently bonded, fairly inert, resists strong alkalis and most acids except Hydrofluoric Acid and only very very sparingly soluble in water.

In what form is silicon found?
silicon is found in solid form as silicon dioxide (SiO2).
Is solid silicon dioxide a compound or a homogeneous mixture?
Solid silicon dioxide is not considered a compound or homogeneous mixture. It is considered a heterogeneous mixture because it contains traces of visible components that can be separated physically.
Is silicon dioxide a sulfite?
No, Silicon dioxide does not dissolve in water. Better said, much less than glass does (glass is solid solution of silicon dioxide and alkaline metal oxides)
What is the state of silicon dioxide at 25 degrees Celsius?
the state is solid
What is correct formula for silicon dioxide?
Silicon Dioxide, also referred to as silica, is a type of chemical compound that is a form of silicion oxide. The correct formula for silicon dioxide is SiO2.
Is silicon dioxide a solid gas or liquid?
Silicon Dioxide is a solid.
In what form is silicon found?
silicon is found in solid form as silicon dioxide (SiO2).
Examples of silicon dioxide?
one type of silicon dioxide is glass.
What is a solid maufactured primarily from molten silicon dioxide and what is the formula?
You think probable to quartz; the chemical formula of silicon dioxide is SiO2.
Is solid silicon dioxide a compound or a homogeneous mixture?
Solid silicon dioxide is not considered a compound or homogeneous mixture. It is considered a heterogeneous mixture because it contains traces of visible components that can be separated physically.

Is silicon a solid?
Yes. Silicon dioxide is also known as sand. It is the main component for the glass.
What substance has higher melting point silicon dioxide or methanol?
Silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide silica is the mineral quartz and is a giant molecule with a melting point of over 16000C. Methanol is a molecular compound (an alcohol) with a melting point of -980C
