Some physical properties of silicon are that it is dark gray in color, its phase is a solid, and has a metallic shine. Its boiling point is 2600 degrees Celsius. The physical properties of an element or substance are those that we can examine with our senses. These properties include melting point, hardness, conductivity, and density.

∙ 12y agoSome chemical properties of the silicon are:
- atomic number: 14
- atomic weight: [28,084; 28,086]
- place in the Periodic Table: group 14, period 3
- element category: metalloid
- electronegativity: 1,9 (after L. Pauling table) - an element not so reactive
- typical valence: 4
- react with halogens
- don't react with acids (an exception HF)

Is silicon an allotrope of carbon?
No silicon is an element in the same group as carbon, it has similar chemical properties but it is not carbon.
Is silicon a metal or a nonmetal?
It is a metalloid, it has both metallic and non-metallic properties.
How reactive is the element silicon?
How reactive is the element silicon?
Is silicon an element or a compound or heterogeneous mixture or a homogeneous mixture?
is silicon a mixture? Silicon is a pure substance because it is an element.
Is silicon a transition element?
No. Silicon is a metalloid.
What element that show similar chemical properties to carbon?
Silicon.
What element has the same electrons as silicon?
The element with chemical properties most like silicon is germanium. As an example, both are used in semiconductors.
Is silicon an allotrope of carbon?
No silicon is an element in the same group as carbon, it has similar chemical properties but it is not carbon.
What element would show chemical properties similar to carbon?
Silicon.
Which element on the periodic table has chemical properties that are most similar to those carbon?
Silicon, which is just below carbon, and Germanium are the two elements that are most like carbon.
Is silicone made out of the element silicon?
Silicone materials are partly made of the element silicon, but most or all the silicon atoms in them are also bonded to oxygen atoms. Therefore, silicone materials do not have the chemical properties of pure elemental silicon.
Is silicon a metal or a nonmetal?
It is a metalloid, it has both metallic and non-metallic properties.
Which family does silicon come from?
where does the element silicon come from? where does the element silicon come from?
What element that would show chemical properties most similar to carbon?
Silicon Directly below it on the periodic table
How did Mendeleev predict the properties of silicon?
Mendeleev did not predict the properties of silicon.
How reactive is the element silicon?
How reactive is the element silicon?
Is silicon an element or compound or heterogeneous?
Silicon is an element.
