Personal Narrative: Write My Life

Did you know that, thanks to ME you are able to read my “Write My Life”? Well, yes, computer chips are made up of ME! Let me talk about who I, silicon, in depth am. I am so proud of myself for being the second most abundant element of Earth by mass! I make up 27% Earth’s crust. Yet, first, I will talk about my origins (discovery). I was born in Switzerland in a solid state of matter at room temperature, by the reaction of potassium fluorosilicate with potassium to produce amorphous silicon.

I have an interesting property, which answers the first question asked; I am electronically conductive, which is why I am very

I look like a hard gray solid with a silver metallic luster. I have a density of 2.3296 grams per cubic centimeter. I am located at the Group 14, which makes me have an atomic number of 14 and I am classified as metalloid. I have an atomic mass of 28.0855. Diamond should be considered in some way my twin, since we have the same crystal structure. I like to be extremely important in both, plants and animals. I am important for plants because I am found in the soil, which helps its growth and resistance from diseases. In the same manner, I am vital for animals because I play an important role in connective tissue, as well as

I am importance for a body that is strong, with perfect skin and strong bones. Obviously, I am not present as pure silicon in human body, instead I am found in silicic acid or silanate. In the same manner, I am necessary in diet, I increase vitamin D, glucosamine, and calcium.
You can find me in hard water, as well as in soft water and in the next fruits and vegetables apples, cereals, raw cabbage, peanuts, carrots, onions, cucumber, pumpkin, fish, unrefined grains, oats, almonds, and oranges.
