Silicon (Si)

Silicon (Si) is an item and element added by MineChem. It has the atomic number 14 and the attributes Stable, Other Metal and Solid. It is used to synthesis some chemical compounds e.g. Silicon Oxide or Talc.

Worth knowing
Real Silicon is a crystalline metalloid, an element of the carbon group and by mass the eighth most common element in the universe. But on earth it occurs mainly in compounds and is contained in many rocks and sand. A significant area of application it possesses due to its semiconductor properties and constitutes a base of many glasses.

Recipe
Because it is an element, it can not be synthesized.

With the Chemical Decomposer you can extract Silicon e.g. with 20% probability out of Stone, 10% probability out of Cobblestone, 10% probability out of Netherrack or 7% probability out of Dirt, as well as many chemical compounds of MineChem. In addition, there are further sources from other mods.

The production of Silicon by the Chemical Fusion Chamber or the Chemical Fission Chamber is also possible.

Chemical Bucket
Silicon (Si) can be stored in space-saving chemical buckets.
