Semiconductor of the week

 Silicon- one of three elemental semiconductors-

    Atomic #: 14
    Group: 14
    Period: 3

    series: Metalliods (Non Metal)

   Conductivity: electrical: 2.52 E -12 10 6/cm
                 thermal: 1.48 w/cmK

   Levels in the human body-
    Blood/mgdm -3: 3.9
    Bone/p.p.m: 17
    Liver/p.p.m:12-120
    Muscle/p.p.m: 100-200
    Dietary intake: 18-1200 mg
    Total Mass in Avg. 70kg human: 1g

  There are significant levels also found in sea
water. Felt this was a good semiconductor since our
bodies require water and use electricity to function
on an elemental basis.

Chembalancer-  This is a great tool to learn the
correct equation for balancing. Will help to learn it
much quicker and efficiently.
