Silicones are a group of polymer materials based on silicon, oxygen, and organic molecules containing carbon and hydrogen.
Notable are the polymerized siloxanes. The word "silicone" was originally coined in 1901 to describe polydiphenylsiloxane, which has a phenyl base.

What is the atomic number for silicone?
Silicone is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 14.
What is the element in hydrogen?
Hydrogen is an element, there will be atom that makes up an element and not element that will turn into another.
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.
What element make up calcium?
Calcium is an element, so calcium makes up calcium.
Is silicone dioxide an atom element compound or mixture?
