Its stable tetrahedral configuration makes it incredibly versatile and is used in various way in our every day lives. Found in everything from spaceships to synthetic body parts, silicon can be found all around us, and sometimes even in us.

Even if this were possible, there would be considerable cluttering around that carbon atom before the chlorine atom breaks away completely, causing a lot of repulsion between the various lone pairs on all the atoms surrounding the carbon, as shown below:

Melting and boiling points rise across the three metals because of the increasing number of electrons which each atom can contribute to the delocalized "sea of electrons". The atoms also get smaller and have more protons as you go from sodium to magnesium to aluminum.

Key examples include silicon, important in electronics; boron, used in heat-resistant glass; arsenic, known for toxicity and reduced use in pesticides; and antimony, which strengthens lead mixtures and is vital for electronic applications. The unique characteristics of metalloids allow them to fulfill diverse roles across various industries.
