Silicon wafers are thin pieces of silicon which are used in integrated circuits. Silicon is used as it has been proven in tests to be an effective semi-conductor. Much of the silicon used is produced in California.
2 p orbitals
All p sublevels contain three orbitals, including the 4p sublevel.
Half filled orbitals or empty orbitals
The type of hybrid orbitals found in graphite and diamond are called 'sp3 hybrid' orbitals. These orbitals are composed of 1 s and 3 p orbitals.
Shells: 3 Orbitals: 9
silicon
The 1s, 2s, 2p and 3s
The different orbitals are s orbitals, p orbitals, d orbitals, and f orbitals.
There's 2: [Ne] 3s [up/down] 3p [up] [up] or [Ne] 3s [up/down] 3p[down] [down]
It's free, the whole earth is covered with silicon

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)
atomic orbitals and electron orbitals
Regular grade silicon (99%) costs about $0.50/g. Silicon 99.9% pure costs about $50/lb; hyperpure silicon may cost as much as $100/oz.
$1.00 every pound.
Silicon has large and diffused p orbitals so it is unable to form Multiple bonds , so to satisfy the 4 valencies, it forms Si-chains. In CO2, on the other hand, the double bonds make CO2 a discreet molecule.
