They are both good electrical conductors which is unusual as non-metals are normally not very good electrical conductors.
With Carbon and Silicon both in the 4A column, there are too many ions to gain or lose. They instead share, to be more stable.
silicon is a mettaloid because it has both properties of metals and non-metals such as: it is a lusturous element like metals it is electronegative like non-metals it is used as a semi -conductor
Silicon is a semimetal.
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.
No. Silicon is a metalloid, meaning it has both metallic and nonmetallic characteristics.
No, they are both polymorphs of carbon.
With Carbon and Silicon both in the 4A column, there are too many ions to gain or lose. They instead share, to be more stable.
They both have same number of electrons, i.e. 4 in their valence shell.
The element with chemical properties most like silicon is germanium. As an example, both are used in semiconductors.
Carbon, Silicon or Boron
Yes, they are both classified as non-metals and are located in Group 14.
You are mistaken in your question. Silion does form multiple bonds. Glass, for example, is a silica-derived formation as is sand; both include silicon dioxide which has multiple bonds.
It is simply called the carbon family. There is no fancy name for that column like halogens. It is called the name of the first element of that column.

Silicon (Si) is solid at room temperature. Its melting point is 1414°C (2577°F).Silicone is a polymer made from silicon with carbon, oxygen, hydrogen. It is commonly used in breast implants, insulations, cookware, lubrications, sealants, and adhesives. Depending on its use and form, it can both be solid or liquid at room temperature (but never a gas). Some of its more common forms are silicone oil, silicone grease, silicon rubber, and silicone resin.
Carbon and Silicon both have four valence electrons as well as other group four elements.
Silicon is a semimetal.
