Silicon was discovered (officially) in 1824 by Jöns Jacob Berzelius (probably because he also purified the product by repeatedly washing it.).
BUT, also note:
1. In 1787, silicon was first identified by Antoine Lavoisier.
2. In 1811, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thénard probably prepared impure amorphous silicon through the heating of potassium with silicon tetrafluoride. Then in 1824, Berzelius used approximately the same method as Lussac.
In 1824, Silicon was isolated and described as an element by Jons Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist. In 1811, an impure forum of Silicon was obtained. In 1854, Crystaliine silicon was produced by using electrolysis.
In 1789, the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier proposed that quartz (crystalline silicon dioxide) was likely to be the oxide of an element which was very common but not yet identified or isolated.
Silicon was discovered by Antoine Lavoisier.yes and also discovered in 1787.
origin name is latin the word it came from is silex (flint).
It was found in Lalaland when bob fell down a ladder, broke his foot, and found a rock next to his head. (Lalaland is a very small island next to Uzbekistan)
Silicon was dicovered in 1824, and it was discovered in China
Jons Jacob Berzelius purified the product by removing the fluasilicates by washing it repeatedly.

Silicon Valley is a center of high-tech industry, including electronics in which silicon is a key material.
Silicon tetrachloride is the name of the compound SiCl4.
Silicon and oxygen, in this form. SiO2 Silicon dioxide.
no it is not a nonmetal. Silicon is a metalloid
Silicon carbide consists of silicon and carbon, quartz consists of silicon and oxygen.
The element Silicon
Silicon Valley is a center of high-tech industry, including electronics in which silicon is a key material.
It. Comes from the Greek name
It could be named any one of monosilicon tetrafluoride, silicon tetrafluoride, or tetrafluorosilane.
Pretty Awesome I know.
Silicon tetrachloride is the name of the compound SiCl4.
Silicon is its scientific name because it is an element. It was named in 1817 by chemist Thomas Thomson.
i got no idea mate
Silicon Valey is named so because of all the businesses there using it to make computer chips.
Because they needed a name so they made it and it was called Chickeen Nooddlee!(:
The element silicon was named from the mineral (flint (SiO2)) from which it was first isolated. The original name Siliicium is derived from silica as the Latin silex was their word for flint
The term Silicon Valley was coined by Ralph Vaerst. As to whose achievement brought about the idea of naming the place "Silicon Valley" there isn't really one person. It was named so because of the the region's large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers
