Silicon Single Crystal 14Si28.086
Discovered in 1824 by J.J. Berzelius at Stockholm, Sweden.
[Latin: silicium = hard stone] French: siliciumGerman: silikon
Italian: silicone
Spanish: silicio
Description: Black amorphous silicon is obtained by the reduction of sand (SiO2) with carbon. Ultra-pure crystals if silicon have a blue-grey metallic sheen. Bulk silicon is un-reactive towards oxygen, water and acids (except HF), but dissolves in hot alkalis. Silicon is used in semiconductors, alloys and polymers.
