v. t.
To convert into, or to impregnate with, silica, or with the compounds of silicon.
a.
Having a valence of four; capable of combining with, being replaced by, or compared with, four monad atoms; tetravalent; -- said of certain atoms and radicals; thus, carbon and silicon are quadrivalent elements.
a.
Pertaining to, or denoting, a compound consisting of a double fluoride of hydrogen and silicon; silicofluoric. See Silicofluoric.
n.
Silicon dioxide, SiO/. It constitutes ordinary quartz (also opal and tridymite), and is artifically prepared as a very fine, white, tasteless, inodorous powder.
a.
Pertaining to, derived from, or resembling, silica; specifically, designating compounds of silicon; as, silicic acid.
a.
Of, pertaining to, or designating, any one of a series of double acids of silicon and tungsten, known in the free state, and also in their salts (called silicotungstates).
n.
A silicate formed with the lowest proportion of silicic acid, or having but one atom of silicon in the molecule.
n.
See Silicon.
a.
Combined or impregnated with silicon or silica, especially the latter; as, silicified wood.
n.
A form of silica, or silicon dioxide (SiO2), occurring in hexagonal crystals, which are commonly colorless and transparent, but sometimes also yellow, brown, purple, green, and of other colors; also in cryptocrystalline massive forms varying in color and degree of transparency, being sometimes opaque.
n.
A rare element of the carbon-silicon group, intermediate between the metals and nonmetals, obtained from the mineral zircon as a dark sooty powder, or as a gray metallic crystalline substance. Symbol Zr. Atomic weight, 90.4.
a.
Combined or impregnated with silicon or silica; as, silicated hydrogen; silicated rocks.
n.
A salt of orthosilicic acid, H4SiO4; -- so called because the ratio of the oxygen atoms united to the basic metals and silicon respectively is 1:1; for example, Mg2SiO4 or 2MgO.SiO2.
a.
Having a valence greater than one, as silicon.
a.
Containing, or composed of, silicon and fluorine; especially, denoting the compounds called silicofluorides.
n.
A binary compound of silicon, or one regarded as binary.
n.
A nonmetalic element analogous to carbon. It always occurs combined in nature, and is artificially obtained in the free state, usually as a dark brown amorphous powder, or as a dark crystalline substance with a meetallic luster. Its oxide is silica, or common quartz, and in this form, or as silicates, it is, next to oxygen, the most abundant element of the earth's crust. Silicon is characteristically the element of the mineral kingdom, as carbon is of the organic world. Symbol Si. Atomic weight 28. Called also silicium.
n.
Thae act or process of combining or impregnating with silicon or silica; the state of being so combined or impregnated; as, the silicification of wood.
a.
Combined or impregnated with silicon.
