- 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.
Truly, I do. And yet, silicones hold a special place in my heart due to their unique molecular structure. (I can feel polypropylene getting jealous now.) You see, while the backbone of many modern polymers is carbon, silicones are built primarily with atoms of siliconâthatâs right, the same element used to make glass.
