Basically they are not, however when placed in their position in the Periodic Table it is possible to discern that certain elements form columns where the properties of all the elements in the column are similar both physically and chemically. This is because they have they have the same outer shell electron configurations.

Is silicon an allotrope of carbon?
No silicon is an element in the same group as carbon, it has similar chemical properties but it is not carbon.
Does silicon dioxide contain carbon?
Silicon dioxide contains only silicon and oxygen - no carbon., The only carbon in a sample labelled " silicon dioxide", would be an impurity or contaminant probably on the surface
How does silicon carbide differ from quartz?
Silicon carbide consists of silicon and carbon, quartz consists of silicon and oxygen.
Which element has a similar behavior of silicon and lead?
carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead.
What is the balance of silicon reacts with carbon dioxide form silicon carbide and silicon dioxide?
Si+CO2 ---------> SiC+SiO2
Do silicon has carbon?
No, silicon is an element separate to carbon
Is silicon an allotrope of carbon?
No silicon is an element in the same group as carbon, it has similar chemical properties but it is not carbon.
What are the compounds in silicon carbide?
silicon and carbon
Does silicon dioxide contain carbon?
Silicon dioxide contains only silicon and oxygen - no carbon., The only carbon in a sample labelled " silicon dioxide", would be an impurity or contaminant probably on the surface
Do carbon and silicon have similar chemical properties?
Carbon is a nonmetal, while silicon is a metalloid, so no.
What are some similarities between Carbon Silicon Tin Lead and germanium?
they are all i the same family on the periodic table. sorry for the cheap answer but something is better then nothing right?
What family does silicon belong to?
silicon belongs to the carbon family
Can there be non carbon based life forms?
Yes, there can be non carbon based life forms; although none yet have been discovered; there is much speculation about the possibility of silicon based life forms due to certain similarities to carbon at the atomic level.
Which element on the periodic table has chemical properties that are most similar to those carbon?
Silicon, which is just below carbon, and Germanium are the two elements that are most like carbon.
How does silicon carbide differ from quartz?
Silicon carbide consists of silicon and carbon, quartz consists of silicon and oxygen.
Which one is mixture carbon dioxide silicon silicon dioxide or sand?
Which one is mixture carbon dioxide = compound silicon = element silicon dioxide = compound or sand = mixture so sand is the answer.
What are the composition ranges for the carbon and silicon in ductile cast irons?
carbon 3.0-4.0 and silicon 1.8-2.8
