natural, it is the most common element in the earth's crust. of course it all formed in stars as a product of thermonuclear fusion, and got distributed in novas and supernovas.

What is the normal phase of silicon?
The normal phase of Silicon is solid.
Where is silicon found in India?
Well, a lot of silicon will be found on beaches in India. SiO2. This is the formula for silicon dioxide, sand.
What is another name for the silicon chip?
nb
Are those silicones the same materials used in silicon computer chips and breast implants?
1. "Silicon" in microprocessors is the element silicon doped with some other elements in infinitesimal concentrations.2. "Silicone" for crazy women is a polymeric material containing silicon instead of carbon.Most breast implants today are not filled with silicone oil, but instead are filled with ordinary salt water. Silicone oil has been shown to cause serious health issues (although it is technically nontoxic) if the implant leaks, while salt water does not.Most uses of silicones are industrial equipment and in plastic cookware, because they can tolerate high temperatures at which carbon based oils and plastics would burn.
Computer chips are made from what element?
Computer chips are made from silicon because it's a natural semiconductor and is the second most abundant element on Earth. To make the wafers, silicon is purified, melted and cooled to form an ingot, then it is sliced into discs.
Synthetic lubricants are made of products based on?
B. Silicon
What is used to smooth jagged glass?
Silicon carbide, aluminium trioxide, synthetic diamonds
Is silicone synthetic or natural?
Silicone is a synthetic material made from silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. It is created through a chemical process and does not occur naturally.
Can silicon be found in nature or is it synthetic?
Yes, silicon can be found in nature. And in great abundance, too, as it is one of the most common elements on earth. It is often found in the form of oxides, and examples of silicon oxides are sand and silicate minerals.
Is silicon an element mixture or compound?
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.
Are polymers are all synthetic?
Silk is natural, not a man-made polymer. The silk is mainly obtained from the cocoons of the Mulberry Silkworm (Bombyx mori). When the caterpillar forms a pupae, it encases itself in a cocoon of fine silk thread. Before the adult moth emerges, the cocoon is steeped in hot water to kill the developing moth inside. The cocoon is then unravelled and is combined with several other silk threads to produce a strong silk thread that can be used to produce silk fabric.
Does silicon have any isotopes?
Yes: Naturally occurring silicon contains isotopes with mass numbers 28, 29, and 30 in order of decreasing abundance. As with almost any element, many artificial, radioactive isotopes are also known.
What is the scientific name of SiBr2?
Silicon hexabromide
What are the elements found in sand?
Silicon and oxygen, in this form. SiO2 Silicon dioxide.
Is silicon similar to a non-metal?
no it is not a nonmetal. Silicon is a metalloid
What is the most familiar semiconductor?
silicon and germanium
What makes up silicon?
silicon is an element and is only composed of silicon
