Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Silicon is a member of Group 14 (IVA) in the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to one another. Silicon is also part of the the carbon family. Other carbon family elements include carbon, germanium, tin, and lead. Silicon is a metalloid, one of only a very few elements that have characteristics of both metals and non-metals.
Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, exceeded only by oxygen. Many rocks and minerals contain silicon. Examples include sand, quartz, clays, flint, amethyst, opal, mica, feldspar, garnet, tourmaline, asbestos, talc, zircon, emerald, and aquamarine. Silicon never occurs as a free element. It is always combined with one or more other elements as a compound.By the early 1800s, silicon was recognized as an element. But chemists had serious problems preparing pure silicon because it bonds (attaches) tightly to oxygen. It took chemists many years to find out how to separate silicon from oxygen. That task was finally accomplished in 1823 by Swedish chemist Jons Jakob Berzelius (1779-1848).
Silicon's most important application is in electronic equipment. Silicon is one of the best materials from which to make transistors and computer chips. The total weight of silicon used for this purpose is relatively small. Much larger amounts are used, for example, to make metal alloys. An alloy is made by melting and mixing two or more metals. The mixture has properties different from those of the individual metals.

Step-by-step explanation:
Slope -intercept form: y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
Parallel lines have the same slope. Let's find the slope of the given line.
Given points: (-2, 0) and (0, -3)
slope of given line
Given that the y- intercept is 1, c= 1.
Answer:
the first recipe
Step-by-step explanation:
We can answer by finding the ratio of nuts to cereal. The one that has the higher ratio of nuts to cereal is the nuttier one.
Recipe 1: 2 1/2 cups of nut per 5 cups of cereal.
nuts to cereal ratio = 2 1/2 : 5 = 1 : 2
Recipe 2: 1 cups of nuts per 3 cups of cereal.
nuts to cereal ratio = 1 : 3
1 : 2 is a higher ratio than 1 : 3
Answer: the first recipe
I believe that it’s 7^16
7^14*1 * 7^2
x ^ a+b
7^16
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
20,24,n,32
We add 4 to get from 20 to 24
Add 4 to get from 24 to n
24+4 = 28
Add 4 to get from 28 to 32
This is correct so n = 28
