slicon/silicone what's the difference?

ano ba ang pinagkaiba ng dalawa at epekto ng isa sa cube
sa akin kasi ds ngayon amoy sunog
bigay pa kayo example

I don't know...but I think the difference is that Silicon came from silica. Silica help any material to be fossilized. (I'm not sure about this, I just read it from my Earth Science book) It also contains silicon. It is atomic number 14.

Silicone is identified as any of a group of semi-inorganic polymers that contains chain of silicon and oxygen atoms. It is characterized by wide-range thermal stability and used in adhesives, lubricants, protective coatings, and synthetic rubber.

In other words, Silicon is used to solidify things and silicone is use to increase the friction. (I think? I can't remember it well from my Science class)

Please correct me if I'm wrong....

Yup! tama ang sinabi ni stralbem..

hmm...

copy paste ba?

no it's not...I just remember it from class...
Well some came from a reliable source...
But I really know about the silica thing....

ahh.. pero tama naman mga sinasabi mo....


hmm... very factual..

so what about "siliconE"?

Silicon = element
Silicone = compound

pakibasa ung thread ni kua lester sa noobs section may mga post si dalton tungkol dito

grabe,, iba talaga pag galing sa science high... Galing ni stralbem talaga

the diff between the lubes silicon and silicone are

silicon= wrong spelling ; right pronunciation

silicone= right spelling ; wrong pronunciation

sana nakatulong ito:P

silicone is an lubrican spray that makes the cube smooth and reduce noise of screws.... silicon it is use for protection for the metal and to prevent what do you call that "kalawang or mangalawang" and it is not a lubricant

sh*t
