✓ Answer:
B
Very reactive
Silicon (Si), a non-metallic element belonging to the carbon family, has an octahedral crystalline structure. Due to its high reactivity, pure silicon is not found in nature. Instead, it combines with other elements or oxygen to form silica, which is abundant in rocks, sand, clays, and soils. Additionally, the long-chain compounds formed by silicon exhibit significant reactivity.
