Group, Period, Block 14 (IVA), 3, pThe p-block of the periodic table of elements consists of the last six groups. In the elemental form of the p-block elements, the highest energy electron occupies a p- orbital. The p-block contains all of the nonmetals and semimetals, as well as some of t
DensityFor other meanings of density, see density (disambiguation Density (symbol: rho Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass div, Hardness 2330 kg/m3, 6.5
AppearanceFor alternative meanings, see color (disambiguation). visual arts. Color (or colour is a sensation which (in humans) derives from the ability of the fine structure of the eye to distinguish three differently filtered analyses of a view. The perception of dark grey, bluish tinge
Atomic properties
Atomic weightIn reference to a certain isotope of a chemical element, atomic weight (more accurately relative atomic mass though also called simply atomic mass is the mass of one atom of the isotope expressed in units atomic mass unit amu) such that the Carbon-12 isot 28.0855 amuTo help compare different orders of magnitude we list here masses between 6. 02 amu and 60. 2 amu (10-26 kg and 10-25 kg). See also masses of other orders of magnitude. lighter masses 6. 941 amu atomic mass of lithium 44. 955910 amu atomic mass of scandiu
Atomic radiusAtomic radius is the distance from the atomic nucleus to the outmost stable electron orbital in a atom that is at equilibrium and is measured in picometers or Angstroms. Atomic radii are called covalent radii (a reference to the types of bonds formed) whe (calc.) 110 pm (111 pm)

Silicon is the chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Si and atomic number 14. A tetravalent metalloid, silicon is less reactive than its chemical analog carbon. It is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, making up 25.7% of it by weight. It occurs in clay, feldspar, granite, quartz and sand, mainly in the form of silicon dioxide (also known as silica) and silicates (compounds containing silicon, oxygen and metals). Silicon is the principal component of glass, cement, ceramics, most semiconductor devices, and silicones, the latter a plastic substance often confused with silicon.
