Glass is manely made of SAND!
Silicon is an element, not a compound, elements can't be broken down into any other elements because it is already as simple as it can get.
Oxygen. Sand is primarily made of silicon dioxide, which comprises silicon and oxygen atoms in a 1:2 ratio.
The Earth's crust is primarily made up of oxygen (46.6%) and silicon (27.7%), with silicon being the second most abundant element in the crust.

No, silicon dioxide (SiO2) is not a sulfite. Silicon dioxide is a compound composed of silicon and oxygen atoms and is commonly found in nature as quartz or in the form of sand, while sulfites are compounds containing the sulfite ion (SO3 2-), often used as preservatives in food and beverages.
Glass is made from a compound of silicone and oxygen.

Glass/Sand Quartz
Silicon and oxygen can combine to form silicon dioxide, also known as silica. Silicon dioxide is one of the most abundant compounds on Earth and is found in materials such as quartz, sand, and glass.
The vast majority of glass available commercially is made of mostly silica (which is Silicon and Oxygen) with some Sodium and Calclum oxides added. Often called "Soda-Lime glass"
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) are the two main elements that make up the compounds in glass. Silicon dioxide provides the structure and strength, while sodium carbonate helps lower the melting point and make the glass workable.
Quartz is a natural form of silica, or silicon dioxide with the formula SiO2
No, glass is made from melted silicon dioxide.
Yes, glass is made primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is the main component. Other elements such as sodium, calcium, aluminum, and magnesium are also added to glass to modify its properties like strength, transparency, and melting point.
Silicate is the mineral made of silicon and oxygen.
It all depends on where the sand is sourced from, as sand is simply crushed rocks weathered down over millions of years. It is used in the manufacture of glass and silicon.
The semiconductors in electronics are mostly made of silicon. Glass is a mixture of a variety of substances, though in most cases the main ingredient is silicon dioxide (SiO2).
