They both have same number of electrons, i.e. 4 in their valence shell.
No silicon is an element in the same group as carbon, it has similar chemical properties but it is not carbon.
No, silicon is an element separate to carbon
theyre all in group 14
Nitrogen, iron, silicon, carbon, oxygen
theyre all in group 14
Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, and Silica are the most common elements found in the Earth.
Carbon diamond has stronger covalent bonds than silicon because carbon-carbon bonds are shorter and stronger than silicon-silicon bonds due to the smaller size of carbon atoms compared to silicon atoms. This results in a more tightly bonded crystal lattice structure in diamond compared to silicon.
Silicon dioxide contains only silicon and oxygen - no carbon., The only carbon in a sample labelled " silicon dioxide", would be an impurity or contaminant probably on the surface
Silicon is typically extracted from silica, which is found in the Earth's crust as quartz. The most common method to extract silicon involves heating silica with carbon in an electric arc furnace to produce silicon and carbon monoxide gas. This process is known as the carbothermic reduction of silica.
Silicon, which is just below carbon, and Germanium are the two elements that are most like carbon.
The common name of silicon carbide is carborundum.
Silicon does because the bc science book periodic table says that
