Do silicon and carbon share some similar characteristics?
yes
Are boron and silicon metals?
They are both considered to be Metalloids meaning they have some metal characteristics and some non-metal characteristics.
Why silicon is the more semiconductor than germanium?
Silicon is more semiconductor than Germanium because the characteristics of silicon can be easily modified to obtain either a p-type or n-type material.
What is a glident?
Glident is a substance, which prevents caking and improves flow characteristics of granulations. Typical glidents include silicon dioxide and talc.
What is the scientific name of SiBr2?

Why silicon is the more semiconductor than germanium?
Silicon is more semiconductor than Germanium because the characteristics of silicon can be easily modified to obtain either a p-type or n-type material.
What metals are obtained to make silicon?
Silicon is an element. It is not "made" except by nature. Perhaps you are thinking of silicone which is the generic name for several compounds, some of which have metallic characteristics
What element has the greatest effect on magma characteristics?
The percentage of silicon in magma greatly affects its viscosity.
What is material made of a zener diode?
SILICON same as any other diode but with different characteristics
