ENERGY ASSISTANCE FUNDS ARE STILL AVAILABLE! Funds are still available for low income Washington County residents who could use help with their electricity, natural gas, wood, propane or oil costs. Community Actionâs Energy Assistance Program operates year round, from October 1 through September 30, not just in the winter months.
- 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.
The periodic table's close relative of carbon (C) is silicon (Si). Silicon is found everywhere in the Universe, but is not found by itself in nature. You will always find silicon bound to other elements, such as oxygen (O). The rocks with silicon and oxygen are called silicates. You're probably sitting in front of some silicon right now.
