Why is pure silicon a poor conductor at room temperature?

Chemistry

Because pure silicon is a perfect semiconductor.

For room temperature, it rarely conducts, you can search for the threshold temperature, the characteristic equation is fairly complicated.

arlik [135]
Empirical   formula  is  calculated   as  follows

calculate  the  moles  of  each  element,  that  is   %  composition/  molar  mass
molar  masses  (  Si=  28.09g/mol ,  Cl=  35.5  g/mol,  I=126.9 g/mol)

moles  of  silicon =  7.962/28.09g/mol=  0.283  moles
moles  of  chlorine =  20.10 / 35.5g/mol =  0.566  moles
moles  of  iodine=  71.94 / 126.9  g/mol=  0.567  moles

divide  each  mole   with  smallest    mole  (0.283)
that  is    silicon =  0.283/0.283= 1 mole
             chlorine =  0.566/0.283=  2 mole
            Iodine=  o.567/0.283= 2  moles
empirical  formula  is  therefore=  SiCl2I2

In the world of chemistry, a 'mole' is a number of something... a very large number of something.
kipiarov [429]

Given:

No of atoms present= 8.022 x 10^23 atoms

Now we know that 1 mole= 6.022 x 10^23 atoms


Hence number of moles present in 8.022 x 10^23 atoms is calculated as below.

Number of moles

= 8.022 x 10^23/6.022x 10^23

=1.3 moles.

Hence we have 1.3 moles present.

Choose one scientist who made a note-worthy contribution to our current understanding of cells and explain what the contribution
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

There are several scientists that contributed to the understanding of the cell. Some of them and their contributions are as follows:

Anton van Leeuwenhoek: He invented the first primitive microscope and was able to view some unicellular microscopic cells such as protozoans and bacteria. He disproved the theory of spontaneous generation by his discoveries.

Robert Hooke (1665): He improved further on the microscope invented by Leeuwenhoek and was able to view compartment-like rooms when tissues of cork were sectioned. He tagged the compartment as 'cell'.

Schleiden (1804–1881): Using an improved microscope, he was able to extensively study plant tissues and borrowed the word coined by Hooke (cell) to describe the component of the plant tissues.

Theodor Schwann (1810–1882): He studied animal tissues and made a similar observation as Schleiden.

Through their various studies, Schleiden, Schwann, and another scientist, Rudolf Virchow later developed what is nowadays known as the cell theory
