Silicon is a semiconductor in group IVA of the periodic table with atomic number 14, an atomic weight of 28.086, and a density of 2.33 Mg/m 3. It melts at 1410 C. The electronic configuration of the ...

Why silicon? Well, it is often said that elements close to each other in the periodic table share similar properties and so, seduced by the age-old red herring that "carbon is the element of life", ...

The group of elements below were grouped ... Its properties were similar to the predicted ones of Mendeleev’s ‘eka-silicon’. The periodic table is a good example of how scientific ideas ...
