Is silicon a crystal?

a crystal is made from oxygen and silicon but i dont no what type of crystal it is :) sorry...hope that helps

Covalent bonds hold a silicon crystal together. This is due to the sharing of valence electrons between two or more atoms in the crystal.

germanium or silicon crystal

Quartz is simply a crystal structure of silicon dioxide (SiO2).

A silicon chip is a semiconductor crystal matrix - a solid. As such, the terms solute and solution do not apply to it.

It's silicon-oxygen tetrahedra, it's covalent bond of a quartz, crystal.

It does not alter the atomic structure of the silicon at all, what it alters is the balance of bulk valence band and conduction band electrons in the crystal of silicon thus altering its bulk conductivity.

Amethyst is a purple/violet variety of Quartz, which is Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)

Quartz is a crystal form of silicon dioxide, SiO2. The silicon dioxide has a tetrahedral shape, in quartz each oxygen is shared by two tetrahedra.

Silicon has the same valence configuration as carbon, so like carbon it forms 4 bonds.

A semiconductor material with electrical properties essentially characteristic of ideal pure crystal. Essentially silicon or germanium crystal with no measurable impurities

The only way is that they both contain oxygen. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is sand, and is a crystal. Polythene, or polyethylene is a plastic/polymer, which is a polymerized hydrocarbon.

Trivalent impurity is used to create a free electron when bonded with a silicon crystal.

It is very easy to cut, however it would be difficult to cut into a desired shape. When you cut silicon you score it slightly then press it against an edge. However, it only breaks along the crystal lattice since silicon is usually available as a single crystal wafer. This means that you can only make clean breaks in the material. It does not "cut", you can only break it into pieces.

Sodium Sillicate, well known for its "crystal garden" experiment.

The work function of Si can also depend on the crystalline structure and the crystal orientation.

Andrew John Armstrong has written: 'The micromachining of single crystal silicon'

Nothing. They must both be in the same crystal to form an active junction. Just being near or in contact has no effect.

Quartz crystals are the naturally occurring crystalline structure of the mineral (quartz) with an atomic arrangement of silicon and oxygen, chemical formula SiO2, forming in the hexagonal crystal system.

In a piezoelectric substance, a deformation of a crystal lattice will result in a charge appearing across the surfaces of the crystal. Mechanical energy is turned into electrical energy.

Silicon Ingot: A large, cylindrical, single crystal made from purified silicon. The cylinder is sliced into thin wafers which are used for making computer chips. Silicon Wafer: Intel uses wafers of pure silicon cut from a silicon ingot to make microprocessors. Silicon, the primary ingredient of beach sand, is a semiconductor of electricity. Semiconductors are materials that can be altered to be either a conductor or an insulator.

Computer chips are built on a slice of silicon. Silicon forms the basis of transistors which make up a complete circuit. The circuit is photo etched onto the silcon forming complex circuits containg transistors, resistors, capacitors and diodes. The silicon is grown as a single crystal. The crystal is then sliced into thin wafers, onto which the circuit is etched. These resemble a sliced potato or CHIP.

Silicon, Plastics, Metal, Lead, Rosin, Crystal, Glass, and Chemicals in the battery.

Glass is a solid. It is melted silicon that has cooled quickly. A mineral that cools slowly can become a crystal.

The bond energy of Si -C is generally considered to be lower than that of the C-C, so a simple explanation is that diamond has a stronger bond. Both diamond and silicon carbide have a three dimensional network structure. Diamond consists of tetrahedral bonded carbon atoms whereas silicon carbide has many polymorphs (crystal structure which are temperature dependant). As you heat silicon carbide up the crystal structure changes. Silicon carbide does not melt "congruently" to…
