  1. NON METALS- SILICON

  2. Before we start lets know a few points..!! 1. Non metals occurs in solid liquid and gaseous states.2. Non metals are chemically active.3. All non metals, except graphite, are bad conductors of electricity.4. Carbon, sulphur and phosphorous, which are non metals, exhibit allotropy.

  3. INTRODUCTION Compounds of silicon in the form of sand, clay,rocks, etc.The atomic number silicon: 14 Mass number: 28. Symbol: Si.Electronic configuration: 1s2, 2s22p6, 3s2,3p2

  4. How does silicon occurs in nature.? 1. Occurs in the form of oxide.2. In the form of silicates.3. In the form of aluminium silicate4. Silicon is the chief constituent of semi precious stones like garnet, zircon, topaz and opal. opal topaz Garnet zircon

  5. How is silicon Extracted from its impure form..?? See how its done..!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=B1eO3PCNvDI

  6. Extraction of silicon from quartz..! 1. Finely powdered silica (quartz) is mixed with magnesium powder and heated in a fire-clay crucible.2. Magnesium oxide and silicon are formed. 3. The product is washed with dilute hydrochloric acid to dissolve magnesium oxide. 4. Then it is washed with hydrofluoric acid to remove unchanged silica.5. The powder left behind is silicon in its amorphous form.SiO2 + Mg → Si + 2MgO

  7. Extraction from coke..! When excess of silica is heated with coke , pale yellow coloured silicon is obtained in its crystalline form. SiO2 + 2C → Si + 2CO ↑

  8. PROPERTIES Physical properties:1. Amorphous silicon: dark brown coloured powder insoluble in water. Crystalline silicon forms pale yellow crystals.2. Its crystals are hard enough to scratch glass.3. Melting point: 1683K 4. Boiling point: 2628K.

  9. Chemical Properties 1. Reaction with oxygen: Burns brilliantly inair and vigorously with O2. Si + O2 → SiO22. Reaction with water: red hot silicon decomposes steam liberating hydrogen. Si + 2H2O → SiO2 + 2H2↑3. Reaction with Carbon: silicon and coke is heated in an electric furnace to about 3073K, silicon carbide is formed. Si + C → SiC

  10. SILICON AND ELECTRONICS At temperature above 300K,covalent bond breaks free electron and a hole is created At absolute zero temperature it acts as an insulator

  11. Conductivity of silicon can be increased by adding impurities. This process is called “DOPING”.Adding elements of group 15 to silicon is called n-type doping.Adding elements of group 13 to silicon is called p-type doping.The silicon is used in making diodes and transistors.

  12. What are the uses of silicon compounds? 1. Quartz glass is used for the manufacture of threads that are highly elastic which areused in electrical instruments.2. Quartz is used in making chemical apparatusand optical instruments.3. Sand is used in the manufacture of glass and porcelain.4. Sand and stone are used as building materials.

  13. 5. Sodium silicate is called water glass.Water glass is sodium silicate with excessof silica. It is used in calico printing.6. Sodium aluminium silicates are used in softening hard water.7. Silicon carbide (SiC) is used as an abrasive for cutting and grinding glass.
