CARBON VS SILICON WHOSE SHORTAGE HUMANS CAN'T SURVIVE

Introduction:

Carbon is extremely important in both biological and technological but here in this article, we are mostly talking about the technological application of carbon and silicon. So, carbon you are essential for life but these properties don't give you any advantages in the article. I hope so.

So, let's start:

Carbon is an element that has been known since antiquity times. This is the time when humans are not so technologically developed and do not know about chemistry even.

So, the relationship between carbon and humans is much older and stronger I feel so. On the other hand, silicon is a very new element according to the Discovery of Chemical Elements article on Wikipedia silicon was discovered in 1729.

So, seems like silicon is a pretty new element. But this time late 20th century and early 21st century is the "Age of Silicon".

Yes, you heard that right. Silicon which was also named "Digital gold" is the most precise thing of this era because of its uses in electronic and computer devices.

Silicon used in solar panels

Many areas are named on silicon the famous ones are Silicon Valley in America and India, Silicon Hills in Austin, Silicon Wadi in Israel, and many more.

Seem, like the future of silicon elements is bright right. But, What about carbon? Is carbon be able to compete with silicon.

The newly emerging field of technology includes nanotechnology which promises to build the space evaluator by 2050. In nanotechnology, we formed nano-size particles that have different and some unusual properties for their macro-size particles.

Experiments on carbon with some nanotechnologists were conductors and they formed a new material called graphene. Properties include much stronger than steel and also much lighter weight.

The most important property of silicon is its use in building semiconductors. Even in its pure state silicon is a semiconductor but to use it in the proper way we usually dope it with some impurities by adding elements like aluminum, gallium, phosphorus, and arsenic.

Another application of silicon is in quantum dot technology. Because of its non-toxic and metal-free nature.

Carbon's importance in organic chemistry is unimagine carbon due to its tetravalency nature forms four bonds that why many complex structures are formed. 

If we look around we see the things which are formed by using organic chemistry in which carbon plays a major role. In the case of biology carbon forms so many compounds in living organisms that astronomers determine the signs of life in exoplanets by knowing how much quantities of carbon are present on that planet.

Conclusion:

I hope you article this article and the competition between carbon and silicon. I hope you enjoy this. Thank you for reading this article.
