    Silicon is the second most abundant element in Earth's crust after oxygen. It has a high melting point of 1410°C and boiling point of 2355°C. Silicon is a semimetal that is solid and grey in color. It is widely used for its importance in steel production, electronics where it requires extremely high purity levels, and in biological processes.

    SILICON

    SI 14

    Interesting Facts
    The lowest acceptable purity for electronic grade silicon is 99.9999999%. This means that for every billion atoms, only one nonsilicon atom is allowed.
    Silicon is the second most abundant element in our planets crust. Oxygen (47.3%) and silicon (27.7%) together make up 75% of the weight of Earths crust.

    Properties
    The melting point of silicon would be 1410C and the boiling point for silicon would be 2355C. Silicon has a grey metallic color. Silicon is a semimetal and also a solid.

    Uses
    Silicon is one of the main used elements. It is important in animal and plant life. Silicon is one of the important ingredients to steel. Silicon from liquid to solid has many important properties.
