Is silicon a metal or a nonmetal or metalloid?
i think so it 's metalloid. if you have a better answer please change it
Is silicon a nonmetal a metal or metalloid?
i think so it 's metalloid. if you have a better answer please change it
What is the connection between a metalloid and semiconductor?
The connection between a metalloid and a semiconductor is that metalloids are used in electronics as semiconductors. A semiconductor doesn't conduct electricity as well as a metal, but does conduct electricity better than a nonmetal.
What is a metalloid called if it conducts electricity better than non-metals but not as well as metals?
Probably Water, it conducts but doesnt send the current around a single direction, instead scatters it out.
What metals conduct sound?
All metals can conduct sound, but some conduct it a bit better than others.

What is a true statement about the metalloid silicon?
silicon is a better conductor of electric current than sulfur is.
Does sylicon conduct heat?
Yes. Iron has better conductivity of heat and electricity than water and will heat up very fast. The same goes with carbon and silicon. If u get a chance to test them then u will know which is better conductor ( silicon should be better conductor since it is a metalloid)
Is silicon conductive like metal?
Sort of. It's a semiconductor, which makes it conduct electricity better the hotter it is. This is the opposite of how it works with metals, which conduct better when colder.

Which elements of the periodic table are metals and nonmetals?
metals elements conduct electricity better than nonmetals elements but not as well as metalloid elements
Why is silicon unusual?
Silicon is unusual because:It has a very high melting point for a non metalIt can conduct electricity better than the other non metals, but not quite as much as a metal.
Explain why arsenic-doped silicon conducts electric current better than pure silicon?
Pure silicon is intrinsic. It has a high resitivity which means it is a poor conductor of electricity in this state. The dopant that is introduced during the doping process can be arsenic, boron or phosphorous. These are the traditional choices to dope the intrinsically pure silicon. After the pure silicon becomes doped its electrical properties change. The main change is it has a lower resistivity and will conduct electricity. This is why silicon is called a semiconductor.

Probably Water, it conducts but doesnt send the current around a single direction, instead scatters it out.
Why is silicon a better semiconductor than germanium?
Silicon is a good semi conductor than germanium because silicon is more readily available, cheaper and stable.
Why silicon is a better lubricant of petroleum?
its oily and it is watery
