Answer 2

Silicon (Latin silex, silicis, meaning flint) was first identified by Antoine Lavoisier in 1787, and was later mistaken by Humphry Davy, in 1800, for a compound. In 1811 Gay-Lussac and Thénard probably prepared impure amorphous silicon through the heating of potassium with silicon tetrafluoride. In 1824 Berzelius prepared amorphous silicon using approximately the same method as Lussac. Berzelius also purified the product by repeatedly washing it.

Answer 5

Silicon was first isolated and described as an element in 1824 by Jöns Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist. Silicon does not occur uncombined in nature; but it is found in practically all rocks as well as in sand, clays, and soils, combined either with oxygen as silica (SiO2, silicon dioxide) or with oxygen and other elements (e.g., aluminum, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, or iron) as silicates. Its compounds also occur in all natural waters, in the atmosphere (as siliceous dust), in many plants, and in the skeletons, tissues, and body fluids of some animals.

Pure silicon is a hard, dark gray solid with a metallic lustre and with a crystalline structure the same as that of the diamond form of carbon, to which silicon shows many chemical and physical similarities. A brown, powdery form of silicon has been described that also has a microcrystalline structure. The element is prepared commercially by reducing (removing the oxygen from) the oxide by its reaction with coke in electric furnaces. On a small scale, silicon can be obtained from the oxide by reduction with aluminum.

Hope this helps.

Answer 8

the first person to discover silicon was the first person to find sand.

however, the first person to NAME silicon and identify its properties have been mentioned earlier.
