Yes, which is why it reacts so little with the human body.

Is silica an organic compound?
Silica IS a compound - silicon dioxide. Perhaps you mean silicates? silicones? other silicon compounds?
Why are silica gels used in chromatography?
to separate the organic compounds
Is silica dioxide quartz organic or inorganic?
It is inorganic (does not contain carbon).
The fossilizing process that replaces organic matter with silica or calcite is?
petrifaction
What is Solute silica?
Solute silica may be in form of silica gel. Silica is usually made up of silicon which is combined with oxygen.
Is onyx organic or inorganic?
it is made of silica and is inorganic

Is silica dioxide quartz organic?
No. Silicon dioxide, also called silica or, in mineral form quartz, contains only silicon and oxygen. By definition, and organic compound contains carbon.
Is silica dioxide quartz organic or inorganic?
It is inorganic (does not contain carbon).

petrifaction
In organic gardening is silica gel in packets safe to recycle into compost pile for flower and vegetable gardens?
While it isn't unsafe to compost Silica Gel, it will not decompose. The Silica Gel will simply absorb moisture from the compost until it is completely saturated. Silica Gel is useful for drying and preserving seeds and therefore can be useful for organic gardening.
Is sugar made of sand?
No. Sugar is an organic material composed of saccharides; sand is primarily very fine silica.
What is fossil silicification?
Silicification is the process by which organic material is converted into stone by impregnation with silica. It is a rare form of fossilization.
Is obsidian rock organic or chemical?
Obsidian is a volcanic glass which forms when a high silica melt solidifies quickly after eruption. Organic and chemical are terms used to classify sedimentary rock. Obsidian is an igneous rock type.
How is silicon harvested?
"Organic silica is found in the earth's crust, and it was discovered as a water-soluble form on sand grains, from which it is harvested."
Is silica dioxide quartz an organic molecule?
No. It is neither organic nor a molecule. Silicon dioxide consists only of silicon and oxygen. By definition, an organic compound must contain carbon. Second, silicon dioxide forms a covalent network rather than molecules.
