What is the difference between silicone and silicon and what are they?
silicon is the name of the element. A silicone is a type of polymeric compound of silicon that contains a silicon-oxygen backbone and alkyl groups (e.g. CH3) attached to the silicon e.g. [Si(CH3)2O]n See wikipedia silicone for examples of the different uses of silicones- and the silicon article for a picture of silicon.
What is the Freezing Point of silicon?
The element, silicon, freezes (or melts - same thing) at 1414ºC / 2577ºF. This should not be confused with the commercial product "silicone", a polymeric rubber made from silicon. There are many different silicon polymers called silicone, but one popular type used for bakeware melts at about 1000ºF.
Is Pure Silicone conductive?
Silicone can be formulated to be electrically insulative or conductive. Silicone is used as a non-conductive insulation material in wire and cable and also as a semi-conductive insulator in co-extruded cables. Save

What does glucose and glucose and glucose make?
A polymer, or a polymeric strand of Glucose monomers: In one chemical-bonding-configuration [in Plants] the polymeric strand of Glucose is called Cellulose; while in the other chemical-bonding-configuration [in Animals] the polymeric strand of Glucose is called Glycogen.
Why boric acid is polymeric?
Boric acid has layer like lattice. In this structure planar bo3 units arejoined by hydrogen bonds and forms a polymeric structure.
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.
