Silicon is a solid at room temperature, but argon is a gas.
Silicon is less malleable than silver.

Answer 1

Silicon conducts electricity as well as copper does.

Step-by-step explanation:

Silicon, with the chemical symbol, Si, is a chemical element in the group 4 of the periodic table. It is a non-metallic element i.e. it has properties that differs from elements regarded as metals. Some of these properties includes that:

- Silicon is a better conductor of electricity than sulfur.

- Silicon is a solid at room temperature, but argon is a gas.
