Why Does silicon dioxide conduct electricity?

Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is an insulator and does not conduct electricity. It is a very stable covalent compound with a three-dimensional network structure that does not have any free electrons to carry an electric current.


Why is silicon dioxide used as the layer of furnaces?

Silicon dioxide is used as a layer in furnaces because it acts as an insulator, helping to retain heat and improve energy efficiency. Additionally, it has a high melting point, which allows it to withstand high temperatures in furnaces without degrading. Silicon dioxide also has good chemical stability, making it resistant to reactions with the materials being processed in the furnace.
