Silicon is a relatively inactive element at room temperature. It does not combine with oxygen or most other elements. Water, steam, and most acids have very little affect on the element. At higher temperatures, however, silicon becomes much more reactive. In the molten state, for example, it combines with oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. It also forms a number of alloys very easily in the molten state.

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.
What are the chemical properties of sand?
The most common component of sand is silicon dioxide.
How come SI and GE have similar chemical properties?
Si and Ge have similar chemical properties due to how close they are on the periodic table. Silicon and GermaniumÊare both metalloids.
How did Mendeleev predict the properties of silicon?
Mendeleev did not predict the properties of silicon.
How is Sio2 made?
Silicon dioxide is a chemical compound that is made from combining two oxygen atoms and one silicon atom. Under exposure to oxygen, a silicon surface oxidizes to form silicon dioxide (SiO2).
Do carbon and silicon have similar chemical properties?
Carbon is a nonmetal, while silicon is a metalloid, so no.
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.
