Silicon dioxide

Silicon dioxide, forby kent as silica (frae the Laitin silex), is a chemical compoond that is a dioxide o silicon wi the chemical formula SiO2. It haes been kent syne auncient times. Silica is maist commonly foond in naitur as quartz, as well as in various livin organisms,[2] Silica is ane o the maist complex an maist abundant faimilies o materials, existin baith as several minerals an bein produced synthetically. Notable ensaumples include fused quartz, crystal, fumed silica, silica gel, an aerogels. Applications range frae structural materials tae microelectronics tae compone[2]nts uised in the fuid industry.
