What other elements have similar properties to carbon?
Elements in Group 14 on the Periodic Table have similar properties to carbon. These elements are carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). Each of these elements has two electrons in the outermost p orbital, the electron configuration ns2np2, and they tend to adopt oxidation sates of +4 (+2 for the heavier elements due to the inert pair effect). Silicon is most similar to carbon.
How do you separate silicon dioxide ammonium chloride sodium chloride from a mixture?
Heat it until the ammonium chloride sublimes. Then add distilled water to what's left, stir, allow the solid to settle to the bottom of the dish, and decant the liquid. Repeat that 3 times. That'll extract the sodium chloride (salt) from the silicon dioxide (sand), because the NaCl is soluble in water. Then heat the salt water solution carefully until all the water is evaporated. Then heat the sand to dry it out.
How do you make silicon rubber?
Homemade silicone rubber is made by melting silicone until it turns into rubber form. Professionally, there are several ways to produce silicone rubber, most are a mixture of silicone, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen.
How have chemists use the periodic table over time?
chemist used the Periodic Table to make it easier for them to figure out elements.as there are many valuable information(atomic no. 4 example)they can always have the chart with them and see them when they are doing experiments.taching,etc
What forms when two lateral moraines join?
When two lateral moraines join it causes unconsolidated derbies on valley walls and the streams through the valley. This will carry on until the glacier melts.
Is silicon a gas?
at one point it says that silicon isn't a liquid until the boiling point melts it. in other words it has to be really hot and then it melts. so its a solid
How is silicon manufactured?
You do not "make" silicon - it is a naturally occurring basic element, #14 in the periodic table, just below carbon.If you are asking how to synthesize "silicone", a manufactured polymer made from silicon, one method is to react methyl chloride with silicon using copper as a catalyst.There are many polymers called "silicone" with many different properties and an equal number of ways to produce them.Silicone is made by using resin or other types of plastic casting. A batch of RTV rubber and catalyst are mixed together, then poured into a mold and allowed to harden.
Was Germanium used in transistors?
Yes, germanium was the only material used in transistors from when they were invented in 1947 until 1954 when the first successful silicon transistor was made. However the use of germanium still dominated transistors until the silicon mesa transistor was made commercially available by Fairchild Semiconductor in 1958. Development of the silicon planar transistor by Fairchild Semiconductor the next year ultimately made the integrated circuit possible. While almost all transistors today are silicon, there are still uses for germanium transistors so a few types are still made.
Is silicon a extrinsic or intrinsic semiconductor?
silicon is intrinsic semiconductor until we add some impurities in it. the impurities are either of group 3 called acceptors which make p type or of group 5 called donors which make n type semiconductor.
When was the semiconductor built?
Semiconductors aren't built, they are chemicals. Maybe you are thinking of semiconductor electronic components. The first semiconductor discovered was galena (lead sulfide) which was first used in a practical electronic component in 1874. The next semiconductor discovered was copper oxide which was first used in a practical electronic component in 1924. After that many others were discovered including selenium, germanium, and silicon. It was not practical to build electronic components using silicon until 1958 when Fairchild perfected their silicon mesa process, then in 1959 their silicon planar process.
What were computers used 2 do in the 17 centey?
As the silicon chip was not invented until 1961, they did not have access to computers or electricity in the 17th century.

Do you serve cupcakes in silicon cupcake liners?
It would be awkward to serve cupcakes in a silicon cupcake liner. I would wait to remove them from the silicon liner until shortly before I was going to serve them and right before I frosted them. If you remove them to soon, they will dry out. For my money, using a paper liner in a cupcake tin works best. There is something about removing the paper before eating the cupcake that makes it that much more delicious. Maybe it is the anticipation knowing the only thing between you and your enjoyment of the sweet treat is this thin little cupcake paper.

How do you do electron dot diagrams for silicon oxide?
The formula for silicon oxide is SiO2. To do the electron dot diagram, First, you put the symbol for the metal (silicon) in the middle and then you put the non-metals (oxygen) around the metal. Then you must count up the total electrons present in the compound (in this case 16). All of the elements must have 8 electrons and the electrons have to be in pairs. You start by putting the electron pairs around the non-metals until all of them have 4 pairs. In this case, all of the electrons are used up and silicon only has two pairs. Therefore, you have to take a pair from each of the oxygens and give sillicon whats called a double bond. The end result should look like this (the periods on the bottom should be directly below the oxygens): :O=Si=O: .. ..
How are many complicated circuits etched on a piece of silicon?
By using multiple micro-photoetching techniques, doping, thermal diffusion, vacuum deposition, ion bombardment, etc. steps until the desired circuitry has been constructed.
