Silicon is not a good conductor. It is a semiconductor.
No. Silicon is classed as a semiconductor. Meaning it has a moderate ability to conduct electricity.
Metals are actually good conductors of both heat and electricity... but silicon is a semi-conductor. Unlike metals, which are good electrical and heat conductors, crystalline solids such as diamond and semiconductors such as silicon are good heat conductors but poor electrical conductors. This is their nature... you can't change it :-)
Astatine is not a good conductor of electricity. This is because it is a non-metal. All non-metals do not conduct electricity, and all metals do. The two exceptions are carbon and silicon, which are non-metals, but conduct electricity well.
Yes, it is a good conductor of electricity.
When dissolved in water, yes. HCl is a very good conductor of electricity.
no sillicon is not a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Yes its a good conductor
Germanium is a good conductor because it is between silicon and tin, its a metalloid. Tin can conduct electricity and so can germanium
No. Silicon is classed as a semiconductor. Meaning it has a moderate ability to conduct electricity.
They are only fair to high (intermediate) conductors of electricity and heat, except that silicon is a good heat conductor. Metalloids include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
Silicon is only a semiconductor. Copper on the other hand is used to make wires and is an excellent conductor of electricity.

silicon is a semi-conductor,there fore electricity can pass through it.transistors in electronic devices are made up of silicon
Silicon or Germanium Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor
Metalloids are known as semi-conductors meaning they can conduct electricity, but they are not good conductors. Metals are good conductors. Non-metals are bad conductors.
