Best Answer

Silicon is an element. It is not usually found as silicon but as a compound that makes up quartz.
There is often a confusion with silicone which is a synthetic substance made up of silicon, oxygen and other elements, mostly carbon and hydrogen. Silicone is generally a liquid or a flexible, rubberlike plastic and it is often used in shampoo.
