What is A repeating pattern of atoms ions or molecules in a mineral called?
of crystals.
Why diamond has a higher melting point than silicon carbide?
The bond energy of Si -C is generally considered to be lower than that of the C-C, so a simple explanation is that diamond has a stronger bond. Both diamond and silicon carbide have a three dimensional network structure. Diamond consists of tetrahedral bonded carbon atoms whereas silicon carbide has many polymorphs (crystal structure which are temperature dependant). As you heat silicon carbide up the crystal structure changes. Silicon carbide does not melt "congruently" to give a liquid of the same composition, it decomposes at around 2700 0C .
What is made by oxygen and silicon?
a crystal is made from oxygen and silicon but i dont no what type of crystal it is :) sorry...hope that helps
What is the structure of silicons adoms?
Look down at the link "Atomic structure of silicon atoms". There you will find the atomic structure of silicon atoms.
Why is there an allotrope of silicon with the same structure as diamond but no allotrope of silicon with the same structure as graphite?
Because they have different properties.
How does doping alter the atomic structure of silicon?
It does not alter the atomic structure of the silicon at all, what it alters is the balance of bulk valence band and conduction band electrons in the crystal of silicon thus altering its bulk conductivity.
Determine the work function of Silicon.?
The work function of Si can also depend on the crystalline structure and the crystal orientation.
What is A repeating pattern of atoms ions or molecules in a mineral called?
of crystals.
In a silicon crystal. How many covalent bond does the single atom form?
Four. they are arranged tetrahedrally. The structure is similar to diamond.

What is the scientific name for quartz crystal?
The scientific name for quartz crystal is silicon dioxide (SiO2).
Does silicon oxide have a simple molecular or giant structure?
silicon (IV) oxide or silicon dioxide has giant covalent structure
