There are many elements less electronegative than silcon. Look at the periodic table, and pretty much everything (with a few exceptions) to the left of, and below silicon will be less electronegative.
Iridium is a 6.5 on the MOHs scale. This makes it about as hard as glass, silicon, or iron pyrite. It is harder than titanium or manganese, but softer than quartz or vanadium.
Talc is a very soft mineral, unlike quartz, and so is less likely to be abrasive.
Garnet paper IS sandpaper -_-
Quartz consists of silicon and oxygen (2 times as many oxygen atoms than silicon atoms).
No, there is no substitute for quartz (silicon dioxide) as it has several special properties that no other mineral has (e.g. transparent to both ultraviolet and visible light). However if you are just looking for a different mineral than quartz that can be used as a source of silicon for use in semiconductors and silicone oils and plastics, yes there are other silicon based minerals but they are more complex than quartz is chemically which sometimes makes extracting the silicon more difficult and expensive.

Silicon dioxide contains two different elements that are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.
The mantle has less aluminum and silicon than the crust does.
because lekage current of silicon is less than germenium

actually in CS we have melted silicon in quartz crucible, and in FZ there is already polysilicon cylinder from which we get another silicon ingot that is pure than CZ .
Jewels in watch terms are gem bearings that were used within the mechanical assembly inside the watch to reduce friction. Many of the low to medium range watches produced commonly used garnet or quartz. Top quality mechanical watches used Sapphire, Ruby or Diamond bearings as the gems have a lower coefficient than garnet or quartz.
No. It is neither organic nor a molecule. Silicon dioxide consists only of silicon and oxygen. By definition, an organic compound must contain carbon. Second, silicon dioxide forms a covalent network rather than molecules.
