Silicon is very common. It represents about a quarter of the earth's crust. That's a lot of silicon. But it isn't found free in nature, but as a compound, usually oxides like in sand and the silicate minerals. Use the link below for more information.
Silicon is not rare, a large part of the earth is made up of silicon IT is also "grown" for the electronics industry to manufacture what we call "chips"...intergrated circuits. It is grown jn it's purest form to make the device we call a transistor . a transistor is made using using a pure slices of silicon in a sandwich pattern , the middle slice has a dopent added to the "mix making it a semiconductor..I.E. NPN..or..PNP etc. without silicon it is doubtfull if man would have reached the moon in the 60s ? . not to mention PCs, and the countless electronic devices we now take for granted. the first working transister was built by the Bell Telephone Company, USA in 1948. IT WAS BUILT BY BARDEEN, BRAITAIN AND SHOCKLY who worked in Bell's lab.
It is the second most abundant element, after oxygen. It is also found in the human body and in various things all around the universe. It is not a dangerous element.
No. Silicon is one the the most abundant elements on Earth.
yes silicon is rare because it is made from the stars that sends down oxygen silicon etc.
Silicon is unusual because:It has a very high melting point for a non metalIt can conduct electricity better than the other non metals, but not quite as much as a metal.
Phosphorus is, And the Abbreviation for Phosphorus is P4O10,
To measure the abundances of rare earth elements in clinopyroxene and olivine of iron-silicon in a fulgurite, were made to determine the oxygen fugacity required.
They are both good electrical conductors which is unusual as non-metals are normally not very good electrical conductors.
Silicon and oxygen, in this form. SiO2 Silicon dioxide.
Synonyms mean the same, or close to the same, thing. In this case the synonyms would be unusual and rare.
unusual means not usual and commen ordinary rare
Silicon is unusual because:It has a very high melting point for a non metalIt can conduct electricity better than the other non metals, but not quite as much as a metal.
Yes. Or usual and unusual; rare and common.
Not usual; uncommon; rare; as, an unusual season; a person of unusual grace or erudition.
rare, strange, uncommon
I got a mix of common, unusual, and rare fish from my rare eggs. Common eggs only had common breeds and fin types. Unusual eggs only had unusual breeds and fin types. But rare eggs gave me a mix of all 3.
It is unusual vs. rare
Synonyms i believe
Something unusual can be referred to as unique, rare, uncommon, or atypical.
lilac Wedgwood is more unusual than the blue or green, but not super-rare!
rare bear
