Silicon (Si) is a metalloid.
No, silicon is not a transition element. It is a metalloid located in Group 14 of the periodic table. Transition elements are defined as elements that have partially filled d sublevels in one or more of their oxidation states.
A lone silicon atom will be diamagnetic. Diamagnetic materials are repelled by magnetic fields. Since silicon is not a transition metal and does not have unpaired electrons, it will have all its electrons paired up, resulting in diamagnetic behavior.
Silicon is a metalloid or semi-metal on the periodic table. It has properties of both metals and nonmetals, making it a semiconductor.
Bromine is part of the representative elements
Sodium is an alkali metal, group 1 in the periodic table of Mendeleev (not a transition metal !).NO!
Silicon is a semiconductor. It is widely used in electronic devices due to its semiconducting properties, which allow it to be either a conductor or an insulator depending on the conditions. Silicon is not classified as an alkali metal, alkaline-earth metal, or transition metal.
Indium is a metal, and therefore not a nonmetal.
Silicon is a metalloid.
No, silicon is not a transition element. It is a metalloid located in Group 14 of the periodic table. Transition elements are defined as elements that have partially filled d sublevels in one or more of their oxidation states.
Transition metal
A lone silicon atom will be diamagnetic. Diamagnetic materials are repelled by magnetic fields. Since silicon is not a transition metal and does not have unpaired electrons, it will have all its electrons paired up, resulting in diamagnetic behavior.
transition metal
A metalloid is a transition metal. Examples of materials containing a metalloid are sand and glass. They both contain silicon dioxide.
Silicon is a metalloid or semi-metal on the periodic table. It has properties of both metals and nonmetals, making it a semiconductor.
Bromine is part of the representative elements
Transition metal
Silicon has a Brittle-to-Ductile transition at around ~500 C.
