BoronThe element boronhas a strong tendency to form covalent bonds, meaning that chemically, it is a nonmetal, like carbon or silicon. It has many allotropes (different forms of a pure element) and possesses high electronegativity because it is in the upper right hand corner of the periodic tabl… SiliconSilicon is a brittle, crystalline solid with a metallic appearance. It is a potent semiconductor, meaning it conducts electricity more efficiently at higher temperatures. Silicon compounds called silicates make up almost 90% of the earth’s crust, pure silicon is rare. It is, however, relatively c…
