Atomic Structure Of Metal Silicon

Electron arrangement outside the nucleus: 1s²2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p²;

Cell type: cubic diamond type;

Unit cell parameter: the unit cell parameter a=0.543087nm measured at 20℃;

Color and appearance: dark gray with bluish tint;

The E of single crystal silicon (100) measured by nano-intrusion method is 140-150GPa;

Electrical conductivity: The electrical conductivity of silicon has a great relationship with its temperature. As the temperature increases, the electrical conductivity increases, reaching a maximum at around 1480°C, and then decreases with the increase of temperature after the temperature exceeds 1600°C.
