[[File:SiliconSymbol.png|right|300px|thumb|The [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbol]] for [[Silicon]].]]
[[Silicon]] is a [[Group 4]] [[metalloid]] [[element]], on the [[Periodic Table]], with an [[Atomic Number|atomic number]] of 14.
===About Silicon===
: [[Silicon]] has the [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbol]] [[Silicon|B]].
====Atomic Structure====
: [[Silicon]] as 14 [[proton]]s and 14 [[neutron]]s in its [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] giving it an [[Atomic Number]] of 14 and an [[Relative Atomic Mass|atomic mass]] of 28.
: [[Silicon]] is in [[Period]] 3 of the [[Periodic Table]] because it has 3 [[Electron Orbital|electron shells]].
====Properties====
: [[Silicon]] is a shiny [[solid]] at [[STP|room temperature]].
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Silicon]] is a [[Group 4]] [[metalloid]] [[element]], on the [[Periodic Table]], with 14 [[proton]]s in the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].
===About Iodine===
====Molecular Structure====
: [[Silicon]] has the [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbol]] [[Silicon|B]].
: [[Silicon]] [[atom]]s join together in a [[Giant Metallic Structure|giant metallic structure]].
====Atomic Structure====
: The most [[Stable Isotope|stable isotope]] of [[Silicon]] has 14 [[neutron]]s in its [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] giving it an [[Relative Atomic Mass|atomic mass]] of 28.
: [[Silicon]] is in [[Period]] 3 of the [[Periodic Table]] because it has 3 [[Electron Orbital|electron shells]].
: [[Silicon]] loses [[electron]]s to form [[Positive Charge|positive]] [[Metal Ion|metal ions]].
====Properties====
: [[Silicon]] is a [[metalloid]] [[element]] so in some conditions it is an [[Electrical Conductor|electrical conductor]].
: [[Silicon]] is a shiny [[solid]] at [[STP|standard temperature and pressure]] and has a high [[Melting Point|melting point]].
===Meaning===
