Thermal Conductivity of Silicon (Si) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Heat transfer depends on a material property called thermal conductivity, even in an material as small as an atom of Silicon. Ok, so what is the thermal conductivity of an atom of Si?

Note: Learn more about the thermal conductivity here.

In the case of Silicon, thermal conductivity is 1.48 W/cmK. Now let's talk about the cool facts about Silicon...

Silicon Data

Silicon Thermal Conductivity

1.48 W/cmK

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Used in glass as silicon dioxide (SiO2). Silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the hardest substances known and used in polishing. Also the crystalline form is used in semiconductors.

Atomic Mass

28,0855

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Sources

Makes up major portion of clay, granite, quartz (SiO2), and sand. Commercial production depends on a reaction between sand (SiO2) and carbon at a temperature of around 2200 °C.

Description

Amorphous form is brown power; crystalline form has gray metallic appearance. Seventh most abundant element in the universe. Second most plentiful element in the earths crust.

Atomic Symbol

Si

Name Origin

Latin: silex, silicus, (flint).

Atomic Number

14

Discovery

Discovered By: Jöns Berzelius
Year: 1824
Location: Sweden

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Thermal Conductivity of Silicon (Si) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
