DESCRIPTION
Silicon metal is a grey and lustrous semi-conductive metal. It is the second most abundant element in the earth’s crust and the eighth-most common element in the universe. Nearly 30 percent of the weight of the earth’s crust can be attributed to silicon. A semi-metal, silicon possesses some properties of both metals and non-metals. Silicon contracts in its liquid state and expands as it solidifies. It has relatively high melting and boiling points, and when crystallized forms a diamond cubic crystal structure.
