About This Product
Students use the model to read off silicon’s electron configuration and to see which outer electrons take part in bonding. It links atomic structure lessons to the semiconductor behaviour of silicon, which underpins work on electronics. Schools, colleges and institutes in Georgia, Cyprus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mauritius and Yemen can order the Silicon Electronic Configuration Model from Educational Instrument.
