Silicon Electronic Configuration Model Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-SSLDK-11439
Description:
The Silicon Electronic Configuration Model is a detailed, durable educational tool engineered to help students visualize the complete atomic structure and electron arrangement of the element Silicon.
This high-quality model is an essential teaching aid for Chemistry, Physics, and STEM courses, particularly in explaining the properties of semiconductors.
Usage:
The primary usage of the Silicon Electronic Configuration Model is to provide a clear, three-dimensional representation of a neutral Silicon atom.
Demonstrating Atomic Structure: The model clearly displays the central nucleus, accurately showing the presence of 14 protons and 14 neutrons. This reinforces the concepts of atomic number (14) and mass number.
Visualizing Electron Shells: It vividly illustrates the placement of 14 electrons arranged in distinct electron shells. The configuration is clearly marked as 2, 8, and 4 (2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second, and 4 in the outermost shell).
Explaining Valence Electrons: The model’s greatest value is in identifying the four valence electrons in the outermost shell. This directly helps students understand valency (4) and Silicon's crucial role in forming up to four covalent bonds.
Semiconductor Behavior and Bonding: Educators use this model to explain Silicon's unique chemical behavior, its position in the periodic table (Group 14), and why it is the fundamental component of modern semiconductor technology (microchips and transistors).
Key Features:
Clear Visualization: Features a clear acrylic body with labeled electron orbits, ensuring the arrangement is visible from all angles.
Accurate Configuration: Accurately represents the 2, 8, 4 electron arrangement, directly supporting chemistry theory.
Color-Coded Nucleus: Uses distinct colors to differentiate protons and neutrons within the central nucleus.
Durable Construction: Built with long-lasting and safe materials ideal for frequent classroom handling and demonstrations.
