A couple of different cases could be made here, but the most obvious one is that silicon is the odd element out. The element magnesium is in Group 2, which is the Alkaline Earth metals. Both aluminum and lead are Poor Metals, and silicon is a Metalloid. The operative word for the first three elements is metal. And silicon is not one. Use the link below to see the really cool Periodic Table posted at Wikipedia. Note that this table is interactive, and each element is a hyperlink to the Wikipedia post on that element.

What does a gallon of silicon weigh?

It is odd to encounter a "gallon" of silicon. This metalloid has a density of 2.329 grams per cubic centimeter, and since there are about 3785.412 cubic centimeters in a gallon, your gallon of silicon, which is a solid at room temperature, will weigh about 8816.22 grams. That's about 8.816 kilograms, and that's about 19.4 pounds.


What type of ions does titanium form?

Silicon does not form ionic compounds containing Si cations. It is after all a non-metal. There are some "odd" compounds called silicides binary compounds of metals with silicon but generally these are not ionic, only those with the more reactive metals have ionic nature, silicon forming cluster anions (Zintl compounds) such as Si44- (isoelectronic with P4 molecule)
