What makes silicon like a non-metal?
Silicon is normally classified as a metalloid. It resembles a non-metal in the following respects:- elemental silicon is not a good conductor and is a brittle solid. In its chemistry silicon does not form ionic compounds where it is the cation. It has many resemblances to carbon forming silane SiH4, a gas, covalent compound- also there are compounds wuth chains of silicon atoms (although by no means as extensive as carbon) Its oxide is "acidic" whereas metal oxides are basic or amphoteric (react with bases and acids)
