- Carbon is a nonmetal, and silicon is a metalloid. - Carbon and silicon have the same common electron configuration as s 2, p 2. But in silicon, the electrons are spread into the 3rd energy level, whereas in carbon it is only to the 2nd energy level.
Silica is a common oxide form of silicon. Silicon is commercially prepared using silica in an electric arc furnace. Both silica and silicon have lattice structures.But silica differs from silicon due to the presence of silicon-oxygen covalent bonding.This accounts for all the different properties between two.ilica is a common oxide form of silicon. Silicon is commercially prepared using silica in an electric arc furnace. Both silica and silicon have lattice structures.
