Yes, silicon (chemical symbol Si) is an element. It cannot be broken down into simpler substances through chemical means. It appears in the Periodic Table of Elements with chemical symbol 14.
Formula: SiS2
Silicon is generally found in quartz (silicon dioxide) and rarely as a singular element (pure silicon crystals can rarely be found with gold/volcanic exhalations). It can also be found in silicate formations like granite, sandstone, and sand.

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.
Silicon has 14 electrons. The electron configuration for silicon is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^2.
The main reason why silicion is used in almost al electronics, is because you can grow a very good quality oxide on it. By heating the silcion in the present of oxide you get a thin layer of glass (SiO2) on the outside. This layer is not conductive and that is very usefull when you want to make complex devices.
It is an element.
Metal is not an element. It is a term used to classify an element, but it is not an element.
It is an element. Elements are composed of atoms, and atoms of elements combine chemically to form compounds.
element. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a compound
If you meant "element" as in a chemical element, there is no element with the symbol "ef" in the periodic table.
There is no such thing as a good element or a bad element.
